Sorry, preppie is not the same as being WASP. You can be a WASP and not be preppie - similarly you can be preppie and not be WASP. Sounds like someone is casting a racial, socioeconomic stereotype here - fortunately this subject is of zero importance (just followed it from a wikipedia advertising page for some sort of sporting goods store called REI - was looking for information on Reaction Engineering Inc.) Many WASPS have never worn a IZOD, LLBean, etc. piece of crap in their lives - never have they ever went to a prep school or had any desire to emulate someone who did. Suggest someone clearly rethink what the f**k they're trying to do with this article or better yet dump it entirely and point people to an online dictionary which can clear up the definition in about 10 words. Alternatively just tell them to get a life and stop clogging the internet with a bunch of useless junk - oh, and also junk any wikipedia articles whose only references are marketing pages by the companies that the articles are about... 11:00 1 May 2008 (UTC)
