      "Simply, Americans miss Bush because we miss the WASPs — because we feel, at some level, that their more meritocratic and diverse and secular successors rule us neither as wisely nor as well." - Ross Douthathttps://nyti.ms/2DZufmq

      Most days, I consume journalists and pundits talking about Americans and I think: "they aren't talking about people like me." But some days, that truth is more clear than other days. Today is one of those days.

          Like was there no person of color or woman or LGBTQ person or immigrant or religious minority involved in this editing process at all?

          Did you read the whole article? I’m not a WASP either, but I understand what he means. It has its roots in the Protestant Work Ethic, which is a thing. Different groups have contributed in different ways to our history
