What annoys me to no end about this WASP discourse is that none of the articles tell me what the damn acronym means, contrary to how articles treat most acronyms and technical terms. Not all Americans grew up Christian, y'know.

Being a non-Christian in America is just thousands of papercuts like these that are incredibly minor but quickly add up. (This is true for any minority group, really)

I think this is more about the immigrant experience than the non-christian experience. Jews know about WASPs, especially since these days we're likely to marry them. :) Also, White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

fair though, that reminds me of another point: Indian-American communities don't understand why Jews aren't considered "white" because we can't easily tell the difference.

all religious and racial hatred sounds absurd, but ultimately most of it "makes sense" as something a human mind might do to us, white anti-semitism and all the catholic-protestant hate makes zero sense, y'all are *extremely* similar

(I recognize that this is true of any hate: humans will always be more similar than different, but it's always weird seeing hatred not scale down as people get more similar because that would be the logical thing)
