WASP Article
I am unable to see the point in removing the term "ethnic group" for WASPs. In addition, I don't see how "dominant" is less biased than "oppressive". Alex (Talk) 02:43, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I can't see how "are an ethnic group known for forming the dominant social class of powerful white Americans of British Protestant ancestry" does not communicate what is intended. Alex (Talk) 02:47, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

Protestantism isn't an ethnic group. It's a religious affiliation. The land owning, white male power structure was oppressive as many within it actively owned and sold human beings like cattle. R4dic4lEdw4rd (talk) 02:50, 20 February 2018 (UTC)


 * You are correct that Protestantism isn't an ethnic group, but the "White Anglo-Saxon" preface designates a particular group of people in a particular context. It may be viewed as oppressive, certainly, but the aspect most prominent is the former political domination the group had over the United States; i.e., as distinct from antebellum wealthy white southerners.
