You are correct - WASP is a stereotype, like nearly every other race or class in America.

Their great-great grandfathers were in the Revolution, yet their fathers were Presbyterian ministers or teachers or even farmers - not Wall Street Bankers. All solid, responsible people who held fairness and honesty as their hallmarks.

It wasn’t children who destroyed us during the 1960s, it was the people running the country and media and institutions.

The owners of tax-exempt "charitable" foundations. Yup.
