WASP Day at African-American School
Edited on Thu Jan-22-04 02:00 PM by Timefortruth
AP-Students at Public High School No. 356 recently decided to celebrate White Anglo-Saxton Protestant (WASP) heritage by calling attention to the contributions of the WASP community. Anthony Margolis came to school wearing Abercombie and carrying acceptance letters from Harvard and Yale. Mr. Margolis, an African American, says "The part of WASP heritage I'm is celebrating is the idle rich, who can gain acceptance to the best schools and coast through them simply on pedigree. This is a positive part of WASP culture which I would very much like to emulate."

Other students came dressed as slave owners, landlords and one came dressed as the President of the United States. The student dressed as Mr. Bush stated, "WASPs can become President without credentials! In fact even with a criminal history! And once they are their they can appoint a couple blacks to prominent positions to convince the other WASPs how open minded they are."

Next month the students will conduct Italian-American Day and March will theme will be the Irish.

*****************************************************************

on edit: Sorry everyone, I was trying to make a point that if African American students ridiculed white students there would be outrage. But when white students do exactly the same thing the offended students are overly sensitive. This point did not come across well, my apology.

3. My point, which I must not have made is that it would be outragous
for Africian-American students to ridicule whites, but when the reverse is done the black students are considered over sensitive.

5. Is this in context with the other thread...
about the assinine white students who tried to get the white South African kid named African American of the Year (or whatever the award was)?

What a stupid fucking play on words. Can't believe there were so many idiots defending those humorless twits.
