        We're as far into post-WASP in 2018 as we were into post-racial in 2009

        Yah! Why discuss ideas and principles when we can judge thr health of our civic society by race and creed instead.

        Yes, if you re-define white Catholics to be WASPs, without appreciating the differences, including the differences in social standing, then something remains. Put Asian-Americans of all religions in there, and Jews as well. I mean, why not?

        They seem to be doing just fine. And we can be done with WASP elites for a while. With some new voices and new perspectives, maybe we can steer away from the climate and financial difficulties ahead. Make a world better for everyone!
