Today, in our multi-immoral culture anything goes. Most of the loud mouthed, vulgar chest thumping, excrement tossing, rioters are not WASPS!
Notice that I didn't say anything about loud-mouthed, vulgar, chest-thumping, excrement-tossing rioters.
Those come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and political orientations.
I said "they tend to make up most of the groups doing the persecuting."
ACTUAL persecution, as in actively depriving people of their rights and/or inflicting violence upon them, has really only taken one organized form in recent United States history.
And what did the k's stand for?
Kike
Koon
Katholic
And they probably should have had another K for "Krosshairs," because each of the above represented a group of people targeted for persecution.
So basically, anyone not white and not Protestant.
I say "recent history," because prior to about a century ago, persecution of those groups and anyone else not a WASP was the social norm across the country.
That many non-Anglo-Saxon whites joined up doesn't reduce my point that WASPs have managed to dodge most of the persecution which has happened in this country, and judging by the original list of groups persecuted by the Klan, it doesn't take much to extrapolate the origins of at least the people in charge of it.
