I come from New England WASP stock (even if my parents didn’t really act that way), a group that is caracitured often and without the sort of self-consciousness that comes with caricatures of other groups. If someone is going to caricature an asian or an italian they look around first, but for a WASP it’s just assumed to be fair territory. I frankly don’t have a problem with it, but my general view is that anyone else who is thin skinned about having their home team caricatured can just loosen the fuck up and develop thicker skin. There can be a real difference between a caricature and disrespecting someone’s home team. I actually consider the kind of paternalism inherent in most politically correct thought to be much more degrading to those it is meant to protect than a simple caricature. Benson you are being very thin skinned about this whole thing. Stenciled grape leaves are kind of Italian, OK? No big deal. Gin and tonics and clenched jaws are WASP. So fucking what.
Lech, Quintessential WASP is dry martini.
Beoch just pwned me. Well played
666? no- benson probably (or dibs, according to benson).
I was kidding BTW :o).
Lechacal, Bitter asked me to tell you to check your email.
dibs- I’m Jewish. I can get tickets for you wholesale but you’ll have to wear that used yarmulke.

Dave, I feel offended. Jews don’t muscle in the operation. We just finance and collect interest.
