WASP I dunno brings to mind for me Cheever short stories re: #194 lawhawk

Jared Yates Sexton took Douhat’s idiotic defense of WASP ruling elites apart piece by piece. It’s nothing but conservatism masquerading as white nationalism and we should give white elites control for the good of everyone else, even though that’s always been to the detriment of minorities everywhere in the US.

As they say, read the whole thread.

Good read. My most recent ancestor arrived in 1921- my living grandmother’s mother. A poor girl from NE Slovakia who didn’t know who her father was who stayed with her uncle and his family until she married my widower great grandfather coal miner. Their son served in WWII, youngest daughter was the valedictorian and first college graduate in the family. And my grandmother had to work as a secretary and waitress for my mom and uncle’s upbringing. Mom and I’ll always be proud of her for this has lived the dream by defining herself but she hasn’t forgotten where her family started.
