Look up the Anglican Catholic Church. If it were 1950 I would be Episcopalian, but the Episcopal Church has become a Liberal cesspool.( this is NOT the right place to discuss religion)

Because WASPs aren't liberal?

No, YOU are an idiot. What do you know about Anglicanism? If your Episcopalian, and are offended, don't be. I'm not trying to insult the Episcopal Church. Anyone who knows the EC knows it has become extremely Liberal. The Anglican Catholic Church is what Anglicanism used to be.

I am a devout prep, and I have a fascination with WASP culture. It has nothing to do with politics.

When I ask about WASPy firms, I am talking about firms that
1. Are very formal/stuffy( require makes to wear coat and tie)
2. Are very elitist/snobby
3. Are conservative culturally

"devout prep" means I follow the Preppy Handbook and True Prep very strictly.

What, you've never heard of a blind Middle Eastern High Anglican True Prep devotee? That old stereotype?

i am legally blind, and have overcome challenges caused by my sight. All I am saying is that it would be quite hypocritical of law firms if they are willing to hire LGBT people and women, but wouldn't even give me a shot. I am as much of a minority as those groups.

If the people of TLS are "ABSOLUTE MORONS", as you so eloquently stated on another thread, why do you keep coming here with questions?

You realize the Preppy Handbook is satire, right?

If you are legally blind how are you typing this?

Not really. Some parts of it are satire, but a lot of it is followed by preps.

I am legally blind, NOT totally blind. I have no vision in my right eye, and limited vision in my left.20/600 I can see well enough with my left to do everything on my own( I won't be able to drive though, and that pisses me off)

Because some people follow it doesn't make it any less intended as satire.

(Though I love when people say "if you're blind, how are typing this?" Technology is great. Blind people get on the Internet these days.)
