(White Anglo Saxon Protestants)
Gordon: "That's the thing you gotta remember about WASPs. They love animals, but they can't stand people."
That's one of the lines I like to quote.
They probably love animals, like many types, more than people.

I think Gordon means wasps love to throw money at animal charities and things like that.
shareIt's consistent with stereotypes. Dog paintings, etc. Whether it's true in the world I don't know.
FWIW, the same stereotype - but about English people in England - pops up in "A Hard Day's Night," when John says, "They usually reckon dogs more than people in England." I took that as referring to the posher sorts who tend to share cultural characteristics with American WASPs.
