Yes, black people have a higher level of physical violence than others in this country.

However, I have mixed heritage and my WASP ex-husband was extremely abusive. I'm lucky I'm alive right now.

Some people will kill you with their fists.

Others will blow up your car or put nails in your tires.

Just know the person you go out with -- and it's not too much to run a background check.

Where did this “WASP” bullshit come from?

From this user? A lifetime of identity problems associated with being stuck between worlds.

In general, it's been around since the fifties or sixties.

The retarded thing about "WASP" is that the Angles and Saxon are but two tribes out of hundreds that contributed to white genetics in the Americas. It would be like calling black people Black Ubang-Mandinga Shamans. It's fucking stupid.

WASP is what they called a lot of white elites from New England who were Protestants and not Catholics or Jews, and who played golf at exclusive country clubs. The Harvard and Yale types.

It's been an acronym for ages, probably used more after non-WASP European immigration (Irish, Polish, Italian) boomed.

If I had to guess, white people did not label each other as whites. It was likely done by non whites, non Christians. Jews.

Around the era of Darwin there was a lot of pseudo science. There certainly wasn't amity between European states and people's based on similar skin tone. British elites didn't consider Italians or Spaniards as peers, but as "Continentals" to be wary of. The Irish as servants, Germans as Huns, etc etc.

WASP is likely the creation of a social "scientist".
