Times are so bleak for WASPs that there's not a single one on the Supreme Court.

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.

The founding fathers were WASPS almost to a man. And the reason they were great men was because they had soaked up the philosophy of freedom inherent in protestant theology and British (esp English) political and constitutional history and practice.

Out of all the other cultures in the history of the world at the time, I would suggest that only the Dutch could have could have come close to contriving a similar system of government.
It is indeed sad therefore, that ‘WASP’ culture and people are so mocked and derided when they have probably made the lion’s share of the contribution towards liberty and common prosperity..
