I'm not sure what WASP is. Can you explain it to me?


myLot reputation of 90/100. CraftyCorner (2983)  5 years ago

W.A.S.P., stands for White Angelo Saxon Protestant. Like C.I.A. stands for Central Intelligence Agency.

Sometimes we use initials as a convenient shortcut so much that the initials mean as much as the words they stand for.

Erm.....Did you not read the details I have included??


myLot reputation of 90/100. CraftyCorner (2983)  5 years ago

I was answering a question posed by the poster right above me.


myLot reputation of 94/100. ljegbers (5726)  5 years ago

Okay....guess I should have been more specific. What does a WASP believe in, what do you stand for. Never heard of a WASP and I'm curious.


myLot reputation of 1/100. Irish_Rogue (161)  5 years ago

Crafty I was answering ljegbers question. Dunno how or why my comment was placed under yours.

The football team I follow have a fine Protestant tradition,so I would say nothing to be ashamed of,and much to be proud of.
Of course I am talking about Rangers,
But you of course know that.
We are not allowed to sing certain of our songs now,and I think its a bloody liberty,

There are a lot of things in todays society I don't like. Not being able to snap photos in N.Y.C. for example. "Political correctness" police and the "nanny state" and various other restrictions are only gonna get worse.


myLot reputation of 90/100. CraftyCorner (2983)  5 years ago

"Political correctness" police say it is WRONG to be WASP.

I'm a Seax_Wiccan, who follows the Anglo Saxon traditions, and I'm proud of that, so why shouldn't you be proud to be a WASP. Everybody should be proud of their religion or they wouldn't believe in, or indeed belong to it.

I don't think anybody should interfere with any other religion. That's what causes all the trouble in the World today, power-seekers hiding behind religions. So, let's stand tall and stand up for what we believe, in peace, my friend.

Brightest Blessings.


myLot reputation of 1/100. Irish_Rogue (161)  5 years ago

Ahhh But the thing is Dark...if you stand up and declare how proud you are to be a WASP then you are labelled white supremist, racist, sectarian etc.
Every other religion or creed in the world today can profess love and loyalty to their culture, colour, religion etc apart from WASP's.
Blacks, Asians, Jews etc are urged to shout from rooftops and media outlets about pride in their backgrounds. Dare I use the same language about my background I will be dismissed as some KKK Grand Wizard or even Hitler incarnate..!! And how dare I seeing as we start wars. We profited from the slave trade. We this...we that...Blah, Blah, Blah..!!


myLot reputation of 98/100. Darkwing (7548)  5 years ago

I'm sorry, but there are people who don't agree with a lot of religions, cultures and beliefs... for instance, all pagans have been branded with the name "Witch", and are thought of generally, as bad, dark people, which is not the case. But, does that stop me being proud of what I believe in? No, because I know that this definition is wrong, and that witches are healers and prophets, rather than evil bodies roaming the countryside and stirring up potions from all kinds of animals. We cherish the earth and all life upon it, but we'll never get everybody to believe that. So, we quietly go on our merry way. What's the point in warring over what you believe... will that change your mind?

You stay a WASP and be proud of your traditions, my friend, but please don't think that makes your beliefs the only correct ones and bug others about theirs, because they have their rights to believe whatever it is they believe too, in tradition and faith. I find it best to just make what you think is the best of yourself and your beliefs, and let others do the same.

Brightest Blessings.

The term WASP has been used to describe people who not only fit the racial description (as I do), but also hold certain extreme right-wing views (which I don't).
There is obviously nothing wrong with being either: white, Anglo-Saxon or protestant. For instance: Do you also subscribe to white-supremacist views? In which case maybe you should say 'I'm a white-supremacist, is this a crime..?'.
Of course, this may not be your understanding of what a WASP is.
What are your views on what it means to be a WASP?

Well, I guess you could say that I'm a WASP, but I've never given it much thought or seen it as something boast worthy; what is it about being a WASP that you are so proud of?
