Political correctness looks so odd to new immigrants.

Political correctness is cultural Marxism. Marxism has NO place in America or any free society.

Does the WASP race include the Scots Irish?

America's love affair with political correctness is the ONE thing that I have found almost impossible to explain to anyone overseas.
That and the "diversity is strengh" schtick which sounds almost like "Arbeit macht frei"

It was the WASP Americans who framed and founded this Republic, and Politically Correctness views other races as inferior to this supreme achievement The writer is confused here. PCness insists the WASPs, or whites in general, are not superior to any other group, and that their superior achievements the past many centuries are due to the exploitation, and outright thievery of wealth and even ideas from other groups.
PCness is a mountain of lies constructed to tear the white race down while building others up.
And White Anglo Saxon Protestants are not a race, but the whites descended from the Angle and Saxon, Germanic tribes that overran post-Roman Britain and became the dominant groups in what became England. And the English were 90% of the white population in American at the time of the American revolution and founding of the USA.

I remember once as a naive teenager in the early seventies, after listening to a recording of Malcolm X and listening to the news, I thought I really understood this whole racial pride thing. A person should be proud of who they are, it makes sense. So there I am talking to a black coworker at a part time job, joking I raised my fist and shouted, “white power man”, after I had accomplished a task. After being disciplined for making a racist comment I had decided to rethink this entire concept. I went to talk to my father, who had just been disciplined by the union for telling a black coworker at his job that not all the pharaohs were black in Egypt. We had a long talk confused because we both had always considered the concept of race as something of a farce. Those called white in this country might actually be part, American Indian, Jewish or any other mixture and those called black could be just as mixed. The concept of race in this country is a social concept and political concept not a scientific concept. Finally we just shrugged and decided that life doesn't always make sense. There is a old expression, “never mind that the mule is blind, just shut up and load the wagon.”

There is no WASP “race” in this Country.
Catholics get left out and so do the founders of Maryland.
Are Quakers considered “protestant?” If not, there goes Pennsylvania.
What about the Germanic people who moved into New York and the Mid West and upper Mid West? They don’t count? And the Nordic people who moved into the same areas? They don’t count?
