I think we should start using WASP or some other acronym ...

The Amish are good people and don't deserve (even in jest) the tags that I think are about to come in greater frequency.

Very well said. I hope the moderators take note of your excellent comment and perhaps ban the word when it's used in that matter.

The fact that the Amish are good people who don’t do these kinds of things due to their religious beliefs is pretty much the point.

Then, first thing you know, many of us descended from Americans more than 3 or 4 generations would be using WOP, Heini and the like. Maybe better to just let it be.

How about using Al Capp's creation, Lower Slobbovian?

Lower Slobbovia (also sometimes called Outer, Inner, Central, Upper or Lowest Slobbovia) is a term used in conversation to denote a place which is underdeveloped, socially backward, remote, impoverished or unenlightened. First coined by Al Capp (1909–1979), the term has also been used by Americans to refer in an informal way to any foreign country of no particular distinction.
