W.A.S.P.
Elite American demographic
W.A.S.P. stands for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, describing Americans of British Protestant descent who historically dominated U.S. social, political, and economic institutions.
The term often carries connotations of old-money privilege, country clubs, and Ivy League connections: a W.A.S.P. enclave on the Connecticut coast.
Usually written WASP or Wasp without periods.
