Why would someone look at people in such a way: members of this group or that group. It would never occur to me to divide people into categories like this.
Mitt Romney is definitely an Anglo-Saxon (his ancestors hailed from Preston, England) and I’m pretty sure Mormonism is a denomination of Christianity that isn’t Catholic, and therefore protestant.
And whatever you might say of Barak Obama, his father was essentially a sperm donor, and he was brought up by his WASP maternal family..
For our entire history, SCOTUS almost always had at least 7 Protestants, usually more.
CNN crows about these changes, but doesn't seem to make their usual correlation-equals-causation assumptions about how horrible things have become in this nation lately, along with this demographic change in the highest levels of the Fe'ral government.
So....color DOES matter.
Thanks CNN for clearing that up.
“Bush has named his White House lawyer, Alberto Gonzales, to be the first Hispanic to hold one of the powerful “big four” Cabinet jobs, attorney general.
He named his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, to be the first female African-American secretary of State, the Cabinet’s senior position.
He also nominated Margaret Spellings, his domestic policy adviser, to lead the Education Department and Cuban-born business executive Carlos Gutierrez to head Commerce.”
The Bush Administration had the same percentage of women and ‘people of color’ as Clinton’s.
And let’s not forget Colin Powell (tho some of us would like to)
Apparently, this guy has been asleep for a while.
When the White people withdraw their support for the government, and their sons no longer send in payments to the IRS because they have no jobs, we’ll see how well the USA gets along. If there is a shred of Scots/Irish blood still flowing in their veins, the Diverse America might be unpleasantly surprised.
It is almost impossible to say at this juncture if a man is an Angle, a Saxon, or a Jute. Even if his ancestors came from England, he might be a Celtic Welshman, Scottish, Pictish, Cornish, or Manx. Or he could be a Dane, a Norman, or a Huguenot immigrant.
Don't think I really want to. I do wonder, though, if at the end of the piece, the author writes, "nyaa, nyaa, nyaa nyaa nyaa!"
Dean Obeidallah (Arabic: دين عبيدالله) is a Palestinian-American/Italian-American comedian. He was born in Lodi, New Jersey, and grew up in nearby Paramus.[1] His father was born in Battir, a small village near Bethlehem in Palestine; his mother's parents were born in Sicily. He is part of a small but growing number of Arab-American comedians who have increasingly received media attention in the past few years, as they use comedy to both entertain and dispel negative stereotypes of Arab-Americans and Muslims.
Fits in perfectly with CNN and the rest of the MSM - they now have Muslim commediansclowns writing their opinion pieces...

White, British-descended protestants are the ones who founded and built this country. Not alone, but they were, and still are to a large extent, the defining force. WASPs are the true Native Americans as there would be no America as we know it without them.

WASP males have less and less influence, and everyone on both sides agree the country is going dowen the toilet. Hmmm.
Barack Obama is about as much a Protestant as is Ayman al-Zawahiri (head of al-Qaeda).
Coming from a New England WASP background, I have to say that, unfortunately, most of the WASPs there at least have given up on the “P” part of their acronym, which is to say their Protestant Christian heritage, in favor of the depressingly dominant culture of liberalism. Even if they go to a mainstream Protestant church, those churches have to a large extent since the 60s thrown out traditional Christianity in favor of left wing “social justice” and liberal Democratic talking points. It is truly the sad decline of what was once a great culture that gave so much to this nation at its founding and thereafter.
I must be a racist.The dem convention looked like all you
can eat shrimp nite at red lobster!
Liberals can't seem to make up their minds if they hate wealthy plutocrats or inbred backwoodsmen.
The demographics of our nation are changing and, by 2042, minorities are expected to become the majority in the U.S.
If the demographics are changing then it's not "our nation", it's somebody else's nation...the nation of the invader. And if "minorities" are the majority, then how can they be a minority?
For the hate soaked Left, there are only two peoples: whites (Evil, bigoted, "overprivileged") and non-whites (Saintly even if mass murderers, downtrodden even if by their own culture and depravity, never responsible for their own failures). Thus the Left understands: when the white majority is outnumbered by a non-white majority - of various races, but most importantly, not white - then America - the racist, Protestant institution - is dead, and its influence and success will be gone.
But that's the goal of "demographic change": the destruction of America.
This guy knows it, and wants to celebrate. But he wants to soften the blow, so that the sleeping giant doesn't wake, so he tries to put a happy face on it: see little WASPs, life will be OK when you are ruled by your enemies....like a guy whose name is Hussein. You'll come to enjoy your servitude, and by the way, serves you right for being mean to all those Africans and Injuns. So just get used to it, you can do nothing.
We'll see how long such a vicious reality will stand.
