WASP
long mis-identified as "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant," this simplistic synonym for oppression, discrimination, and spurious superiority is actually "Wealthy Anglo-Saxon Protestant." Because "Anglo-Saxon" refers to white, "White Anglo-Saxon" is redundant. As the gulf between extremely rich and extremely poor continues to grow, it may be important to recognize that component of bigotry. On the other hand, you will serve your audience better if you avoid the cliché and choose specific adjectives.
