Entry: Why the Right Moves Left Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/why_the_right_moves_left#12943 Post contents: Donald, we have to characterize. In order to speak, to point out certain things, it is necessary to put people into groups, either race or into an ideology. For say Christians. There are many types of Christians. Where there is distinctions, we use labels that fairly describe the essence of the group. WASPs is a very convenient term. It is a group of people that are at the core of "Americanism"; or the founding of this country America. What those people were, is what WASP connotates. WASP may have started out as a term of denigration, but it has moved to become a good label for the core constituency of America. Sent at: 2008 07 05
