What does wasp mean in America?

WASP is the abbreviation of white Anglo-Saxon Protestants in the United States, so W, A, S and P stand for white, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant respectively. WASP is an Anglo-Saxon Protestant, a wealthy, upper-class American with extensive political and economic ties. Now it can be generally called Protestant European-American.

WASP advocates that government departments, social institutions and enterprises give "political recognition" to immigrants, ethnic minorities, single-parent families, women and other different social and cultural groups, and hopes to expand and improve social welfare projects and increase educational funding with the help of parliamentary legislation and government administrative orders, so that ethnic minorities and vulnerable groups can enjoy priority rights in employment and contract acquisition.

Initial state of wasp

The earliest WASP elites have firmly occupied American upper class since the beginning of19th century. Children go directly to Ivy League schools from private middle schools, learn the manners and customs of the upper class, establish relationships with other famous families, and control the main fields of finance, culture and politics in the United States.

Manuals such as Celebrity Records record the intricate network of relationships between upper-class families, who hang out in the same private club, go to the same church and live together (the main line of Philadelphia and the rich area of Back Bay in Boston are two most obvious examples). Over time, these people gradually settled in the midwest and west of the United States and began to spread throughout the country.
