OK, Belly, I see that you didn't know what WASP meant; it pays to not use expressions, acronyms etc., of which you don't know the meaning.

Dear Is Mise,

Belly didn't just use the word WASP alone. His phrase was “WASP hillbilly types”.

So it is a reasonable question to ask, are hillbillies predominately WASP? I suspect the answer is yes but am open to having that stereotype challenged with evidence if you have it.

If on the other hand you concede the point then I feel you may be treating Belly a little unfairly and I would ask you to dismount from your elevated equine.

Steele,

What exactly do you mean by an "elevated equine"?

If you are referring to the horse's height then you could say so but elevated does not fit the bill in that case.

WASP also means 'Women Air Force Pilots' (USA) who ferried war planes in WWII.

Them thare hills around here ismise are inhabited sometimes by refugees, refugees from work, water, bathing, reality but not lifted one up to see what religion they are, some inbreeding has taken place with the long sleeved cotton shirt ute driving tribe, and from to to time the medication vegetation is consumed with some very rough home brewed red so they say wine,at such celebrations of diversity some bring our the vegetation guards/dogs to fight,at such time this far from politically correct old bloke has difficulty seeing what side of the fence the animals are on! THERE! sure you can find something to be offended by there

Dear Is Mise,

Just for clarity don't you think elevated equine is far more accurate than high horse?

Was the horse affected by drugs? Heroin is often referred to as horse;

As equine is far more specific my use of it should be applauded I would have thought. Also elevated rather than 'high' certainly is more targeted and less ambiguous although I will admit 'tall' would have been even more succinct.

However you seemed to have ignored my point, that hillbillies are predominately white anglo-saxon protestants. Or do you have other thoughts.

WASP, White Anglo Saxon Protestant, unlike you is mise who is in fact just a protester about anythin
