@HeerJeet@jaykaydee Nope. What I'm trying to get at is that IME, WASP qua WASP isn't really an identity to which people adhere. -

@HeerJeet@jaykaydee & re UCs not feeling collective guilt -- I think that there is a key to why WASPs qua WASPs don't feel ethnic shame. -
@HeerJeet@jaykaydee Maritimers & Southerners have been conquered, excluded, looked down upon. UCs haven't. - Show replies
