I personally don't like being called a WASP.

No idea, that's what is in the box under "race or color of mother/father". Since both my parents were listed as WASPs, that makes me one I guess.

In my experience with the term JAP, the emphasis is on the P, not the J. Jokes are about the P.

I agree. |
Ditto in my experience as well. I grew up in an area with a lot of spoiled wealthy girls who referred to themselves as that and were proud of the monicker. Similar to the one or two GCers who designate themselves as witches with a capital B, they think their poor manners are okay since they can't help themselves because they are jappy or witchy.

Race is nowhere on my birth certificate. It's not on my children's' birth certificates either. Hmmm.
