So true-- it wasn't very long ago that Greek and Sicilian people used to be stigmatized, and ironic too because some Greek Americans can be pretty fucking racist. Being super racist doesn't get you into WASP club, my friends.
The country club in my hometown (Philly suburb) was for WASP males only. Wives and daughters had to use the guest entrance. In the early 90s they admitted their first … Italian Catholic male! Wow! Such diversity! 🙄 I left in 1992 so I have no idea if they ever opened their membership further. [This is also Dr Oz’s wife’s hometown, where the church temporarily fake-sold them a house to fake-live in PA so he could run for Senate. 🤔 I wonder if he had to use the guest entrance.]
