Not white supremacist jargon. Just saying that, whether anyone likes it or not, they were the early birds, and got the land, and the positions on interlocking directorates. See me in two hundred years to see if the WASPs have been relegated to some other position in U.S. society. It is not racist to toot one's own horn, or admit someone else has the right to toot his/her horn. This in no way reflects racism, since this country is not a Communist classless society. We have classes, and the top social/economic classes are those that arrived before 1850, and are WASPs. The inequities for Blacks is that they were here before 1850 and were disenfranchised. That is not my fault. Blame those, now dead, who did the disenfranchising. Having spent time in the military, you know that rank has its privileges, and society does reflect who was the early bird that was allowed to participate. Let's not try to deny history, and its consequences.
And you are twisting what I said. I said my GENE POOL is valued more than some other demographics, since the reality is that that gene pool is valued by those WASPs that believe, rightly or wrongly, that that gene pool is crammed with innovators in science, medicine, and runs on a very industrious culture. I'm not feeling superior, but some WASPs just think that that gene pool is a better bet for the country's prosperity and strength than some other demographics. Your desire for equality in a country that historically reflected inequality does not exactly reflect historical or present day reality, in my opinion.
