What ever happen to them, you know those White Anglo Saxon Protestant thingies! You never here the phrase or word use much anymore!
Are there many left? Where do they hang out these days anyone know?

That would be me. Actually, I thought the last thread might be about me too.
I think I’m something like 1/16 WASP. Come to think of it, “WHITE Anglo-Saxon” is a tautology. So I’m something like 1/16 ASP. 
Just don’t convert to Satanism…
I used the term just the other day, in a C&F thread.
Nah. I can’t stand silly outfits. That’s why I’m so over the RenFest thing, too.
I don’t trace most of my ethnic, geographical or theological heritage to WASPs, but I do my linguistic heritage (as does most everyone here).
This seems rather interesting…
AFAIK, I’m 100% WASP.
Anyone remember the Doors song, The W.A.S.P. – Texas radio and the big beat? (Comes out of the Virginia swamps cool and slow, with friendly precision and a backbeat narrow and hard to master) Geez, I’m gonna have to go and listen to it right now.
Yes, that is interesting Cran.
*****They lied to me all these years! They’ve been misusing the term all along!
(No wonder my American forbears weren’t rich and didn’t go to Harvard.)
Oh No!! I’m a bee???
Durn, I thought I’s just a’ ole woman frum th’ hills…
Well hunny you is. 
Hi emmline
I would have to disagree with wikipedia on this.
The Angles settled in south east Scotland. - Scots as a language derives from old Anglish amongst others. So there is a significant Angle and Viking heritage and genetic legacy mixed with the Celt.

Because of afore-mentioned redundancy (White), nobody liked ASP. It was a putdown anyway and attempted to demean people who were so widespread in the American population that its imprecision also rankled the senses.
What it REALLY meant, in usage by radlibs, was landed old-money whites in the NorthEast, even though some of those families were Irish or Scots.
Or German or Dutch or French or…
That’s right, Cran. Especially Dutch in New York state.
And German in the hills of Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
So how many WASPs does it take to change a light bulb?
Two: one to do it, and one to mix the martinis.
How can you tell when a WASP woman has an orgasm?
She drops her nail file.
How many WASPs does it take to roof an average sized house?
15 or 20, depending on how thinly you slice them. It may take 50 or more in the Hamptons.
