I grew up watching too much tv and reading too much Mad Magazine in the “Revenge of the Immigrants”  era that was prejudiced against the so-called WASPS and taught that America really began with the Great Famine and at Ellis Island. And I fell for it. It also grew out of my guilt. “At least I’m not one of THEM.” And in reality, it didn’t come up THAT much. Anglophobic nonsense. WASP is a misnomer and social/cultural, not ethnic.


It’s the southern history I struggle with.

There is no social class structure in the US.

Sport is living art, the highest form of art.
