it's no more "bland" or "repressed" than any other culture

I went to a prep school filled with WASPs for seven years. If you narrow the definition of WASP to include primarily upper-middle-class to upper-class, there is something there. Even in the pursuits of higher study or hedonism, they tend to be on the bland side. (Compared to the Jews, academic blacks, ethnic Catholics, lower economic strata folks)

This is not a bad thing. They did the work (or attended the parties, or played lacrosse); the Persians at the Prep school were more trouble than they were worth.

they tend to be on the bland side

But what is bland? Is it just something you're used to seeing? Something you grew up around? I think so. There's nothing inherently bland about any culture, and nothing inherently rich or exciting.

I’m a WASP, from a poor family. WASP has nothing to do with money.
