The WhiteAnglo-SaxonProtestant motherfuckers who still own and run everthing in the country, now with latent prejudice- instead of celebrated belittling of "sub-humans". Enslaved the blacks, kept Jews and Catholics out of their hierarchy and organizations. Made life hell for the Irish Poles Asians Greeks Mexicans ..... any one who is not a WASP. They are pretty good at getting those "below" them in hating each other as well.
