Noah Feldman: ‘The Triumphant Decline of the WASP’

From the New York Times in 2010:

But satisfaction with our national progress should not make us forget its authors: the very Protestant elite that founded and long dominated our nation’s institutions of higher education and government, including the Supreme Court. Unlike almost every other dominant ethnic, racial or religious group in world history, white Protestants have ceded their socioeconomic power by hewing voluntarily to the values of merit and inclusion, values now shared broadly by Americans of different backgrounds. The decline of the Protestant elite is actually its greatest triumph.

Are there any woke Anglos who disagree or are they all thrilled to have relinquished sovereignty over the countries they created? I find it sad that WASPs won’t take their own side.
