The Rich Are Racists

Monday, June 2, 2008

Heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune, Jamie Johnson, says he's uncovered the secret language of rich people. Accusations of racism and classism is just the beginning--the scandal behind the world of the "WASP."

You may remember Jamie Johnson from his HBO documentary Born Rich, that exposed wealthy kids as being even more obnoxious than you think. Now he's back exposing the super rich for, well, being racists and classists in his Vanity Fair blogs.

Johnson claims that Wasps take pride in being exclusionary and he proves it by pointing out some terms that are apparently used in some 'inner' circles...

Canadian = Jewish
Hawaiian = People who are considered 'trash'. It's derived from people saying "how are you" with an accent so it sounds like "howahhhyahh"
Eskimo = African American
W.O.G. = Wealthy Oriental Gentleman
N.O.C.D. = Not Our Class, Dear
P.L.U. = People Like Us

He goes on to explain that "Wasps" are proud to keep their clubs private and although they allow some minorities in, it's only those who are powerful and may help them.
