WASP
WASP: an acronym for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. They are a social group of white protestants in the United States. They are often of British descent, and typically wealthy and well-connected.
They are not so influential as they were.[1] However, WASPs are still well placed in major financial, business and legal firms, and in universities.
