I'm not sure why you think I'm talking about presidents.
Go and have a look at who the sorts of people I'm talking about are, you'll find a lot of rich white people dressing-down. Who do you think their parents are?

I don't see where I said this.
WASPs have fallen from the presidency to bitching in newspapers, sure; and in random social organisations. That's my point. Their children are now bleeding-heart vipers going around, as their parents did, inserting themselves in positions of power as best they are able: "Representing" the interests of other groups who've they've almost no experience or understanding of.
If you havent noticed yet, have a look. When you see this kind of intra-elite warefare taking place, go look at the pictures of who's involved. Have a look at their bios. It's often a lot of upper-middle class white children playing games.
Go walk into one of the top universities in the world.

Because you’re also talking about universities and social organizations as if Python broadly resembles either :-) The point was that, in relative terms, WASPs today have less political and cultural capital than they’ve ever had at any previous point before in the US’s history. Which is a good thing. (This is why I wanted you to spell out what you think WASP stands for. It isn’t “rich and annoying white person with social capital,” despite the fact that many WASPs are that.)
