Entry: Puritans or Habsburgs Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/puritans_or_habsburgs#1246 Post contents: Uggghhh.... MISter Daniels. I am a man of (in your words) "true intellectual standing" and I'm a WASC (White Anglo-Saxon Catholic), a half-brother of the WASPS, and I don't give a flying f--- about the acronym WASP which was invented by aggrieved American Jews like Woodie Allen. It has nothing to do with references to "insects" as you say. But it has everything to do with the vanities of American Jews who resent being newcomers in the USA whose national character was founded by descendants of the British Isles. There is a good reason to object to the silly acronym, "WASP", but it has nothing to do with comparisons to insects, and it has everything to do with the vanities of recent (post 1865) Jewish immigrants to America. You do have a point to make, but please do more historical research before you make it. Sent at: 2008 05 16
