It makes no sense to me why so many people believe White Anglo-Saxon Protestants are a dominant group in the USA.
There are far fewer influential people of WASP heritage than Jewish, Irish, Scottish, or Italian ancestry.
Back in the 19th century, White Anglo-Saxons did have influence in the USA. But from the mid-20th century to the present WASPs seem to have become an increasingly powerless minority.
The only influential media person in the US I can think of with Anglo-Saxon ancestry is Ted Turner, and he was pretty much run out of business by the Chosen Ones. Of the people we see on mainstream TV, the only WASP I can think of is Anderson Cooper, and he's a homosexual. It seems like the rule nowadays is the only way a WASP male can work in the media is if he's gay.
When I check the Forbes list of the 100 richest people, I've noticed fewer and fewer people on the list each year are of Anglo-Saxon heritage, and most of them like Warren Buffett and the Waltons are old. Most of the younger people on the list such as Sergey Brin and Mark Zukerberg are Jewish. More of the richest Americans are Jewish than ever before (Adelson, Bloomberg, Soros, Ellison, Page, Brin etc).
Wouldn't it be more accurate to consider Jews to be the dominant group in America?
