WASP means White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. Hard-right House Republicans on Friday were discussing forming an America First Caucus, which one document described as championing “Anglo-Saxon political traditions” and warning that mass immigration was putting the “unique identity” of the U.S. at risk. Marjorie Taylor Greene scrapped a planned launch of controversial ‘America First’ caucus amid blowback from GOP.
Fear of people who don’t look like us is the real issue for many Americans. They don’t look like us and they aren’t part of my religion seems to be the two driving forces that are driving the hate that is tearing the United States apart.
Based on their appearance they must have a difference culture and really aren’t part of American culture seems to be the thought process of many White Americans. People with those thoughts are a shrinking population and they know it. Those people are scared that they may soon be a minority
The United States Census have enumerated Whites and Blacks since 1790. By that time 19.3% of all Americans were identified as Black/Negro. Asians and Native Americans were not counted until the late 1800s. Mexicans were counted as White from 1790 to 1930.
Today, based upon the 2010 census, 72.4% of the population is White. That is a dramatic drop from 1960, 50 years ago, when the White population was 88.6% of the population.
Immigration from Latin American countries continues to be the number nations of origin. The evidence is obvious. When you telephone most businesses their answering system offers two primary languages. English or Spanish. Those WASPS want to stop the changing demographics by limiting immigration from all countries that are not basically inhabited by White people. You know. They want to welcome people from Europe.
The answer. WASPS will have to accept a new reality in the 21st century. Like it or not.
