 I don't think WASP means what you think it means.

It's actually an acronym, you know.  ALL CAPS tends to mean each letter "stands for" a word.  A word pertaining to the thing to which the acronym is employed to refer.

You have failed to employ this particular acronym correctly.

White Anglo-Saxon Protestant

Yeah, I'm aware that ol' Ewan's not Anglo-Saxon, and he may or may not be protestant. Of course, seeing as the term's already been applied to figures who don't meet all of the implicit criteria (H. P. Lovecraft -- a decidedly non-protestant atheist -- for example), I don't feel the need to stick with the absolutely objectively literal form of the definition.
