Selective amnesia

Reader comment on: David Brooks' Misguided WASP Envy

You are absolutely correct but that wasn't the meme post WWII. The meme was that WASPs controlled everything including our culture through hypocritical Christians.
So there is some selective amnesia here.
Plus Brooks, i am not a fan of his, states a true flaw of classical ilberalism - only the smartest regardless of morality, race or religion , will inherit power and money and become elite.
