The New "Traditional" Prep:
African American, Asian, Hispanic, and other Non-European ethnicities: Typically several generation American, although there is a rise in 1st generation individuals. Families are typically either incredibly wealthy (more so then typical Caucasian preps) or have slightly higher than average incomes.
Own several homes, but usually do not belong to the Country Clubs (only applicable to 1st generation individuals and newly arriving ones).
Shop at J.Crew and Ralph Lauren, and spend the summer in Africa, Asia, and/or South America.
