      10. The WASP miscreant, the WASP ne'er-do-well, the WASP criminal has freedom to be an individual failure, not communal shame.

      11. Persistence of communal shame shows limits of "how Jews became white" model.

      12. Jews (at least non-black ones) are pretty much seen as white; but their sense of communal shame shows commonality with racial minorities

      13. Was asked if communal shame is a good thing or a bad thing. Should we all aspire to WASP nonchalance? I genuinely don't know.

      @HeerJeet communal shame is totally necessary for a functioning civil society.

      @jaykaydee @HeerJeet Is it though? As WASP qua WASP this feeling is indeed alien to me. I've felt shame as Cdn, as Torontonian, not as WASP.

      @fortyfs @HeerJeet shame is the way we maintain the informal agreements that make things run, outside of laws

      @jaykaydee @HeerJeet Absolutely. And WASPs experience communal shame as families, as members of organizations etc.

      @jaykaydee @HeerJeet But the mere fact of being a WASP, absent some personal connection, doesn't induce feelings of identification.

      @jaykaydee @HeerJeet I think WASPs in N. Am. identify (& feel pride/shame) regionally, not just ethnically. Southerner, Maritimer etc.

      @fortyfs @jaykaydee Truth to that but not all identities equal in shame/pride. Upper Canadians don't feel collective guilt, do they?

          @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 When I tell ppl I'm a WASP it usually indicates a sort of...absence? As in, "not Jewish, not Catholic, not immigrant"

          @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.
