White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, better known as WASPs, are perhaps the ultimate cultural pariah in America these days. The culture has dwindled in the last 20 years, but there are still people out there whose wardrobes only consist of cable-knit sweaters, loafers, and patterned khakis. They’re not just rich white people. They’re the best kind of rich white people. There’s never been an appreciation for WASPs. They’re the ones who are constantly cast as the bad guys, and they’re never appreciated for how great they really are. Let’s raise a glass to WASPs.

The Kennedys were Catholic
They stood for so much more, though.
The Kennedys were genre benders.
