Great so the Brahmins are a bunch of intolerant descendants of Puritans---basically hypocrisy witha WASP covering..
They are hardly intolerant. They freed blacks from slavery and gave women the right to vote. They are just very serious and reserved people and that rubs it of on others as arrogance. Even though they are all millionaires, they dress in simple conservative clothes, live in normal sized houses and their only luxury is having a resort for the weekends. Compare this to the new rich who usually buy tons of cars, dress in expensive brand clothes, etcetera. It's just that they score very low in emotionality.
.who gives a damn where your parents went to school, or what your parents did? It's not where you are from it's where you are at.
Wrong. It matters because if you came from a proletarian background, your manners and interest will be different from those of the elite. Simple. If you were poor and became rich, it means you are smart and industrious and those are virtues, but you are still a prole in manners and attitude and they simply don't want to hang with you. They have the right to. The Constitution garantees right of association. They put that there.
It's a damn co-op. Funny how his descendants couldn't hack it in England so they had to leave..
They left for religious reasons, not because they were losers who couldn't make it in England. They were actually better educated than most Englishmen at the time.
.now, you have some obscure family trying to hold onto glory past, not taking a look at the merit of the man, but who his folks and grandfolks were....epic hypocrisy of what the Good Book says...
They are not protecting anything. They avoid the newspapers and hate attention. They also have no problems getting into Harvard and Yale even though they no longer have quotas protecting them from competition. They are highly intelligent and capable. They are, in fact, the only whites in America who can compete with Asians and Jews in terms of achievement.
Also, I doubt that the "new" elite are Asian, Indian Asian, etc---it's the same ol', same ol'...those people are just fronts---like the black folk in a Korean store, that sells hip hop gear.
The new elite is composed of people from all races. The New York Times was just recently purchased by a Mexican guy of Lebanese extraction. In the 1940s, you couldn't make it in the federal government, on prestigious law firms or
Wall Street without having ties to elite WASP families from New York, Boston, Philadelfia. Today, it's pure merit. But the Brahmins are stiill the elite of the elite, the most prestigious and powerful group by far.
