One of the very many indignities that US Citizens of English ancestry, or whatever British ancestry, have to suffer-- in addition to being termed WASPs, is to live in fear of being mistaken for (gasp) German, or at any rate, German American. The odd little thing about anti-German bigotry, one need not actually be of actual German blood to be a victim of it. A White, especially one with blue eyes, and a certain type of attitude, has to live in fear, dread, of this.
Now, anti-German bigotry, of course, is so widespread, so deeply rooted, and considered so justified, that it is not even perceived as a form of bigotry at all. Besides, (((The Children of the Devil))) whine and moan about being termed Rats, but how do (((they))) suppose we, US Citizens of English ancestry, feel about being dehumanized as WASPs? One really has to wonder about precisely that.
