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.
White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.
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.
BUMS
I see what you did there
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".
