- It probably would be fair to say that WASP's(especially those of
- the New England old-money variety )
- have also produced more than their share of financial
- criminals. I would expect that at times their have even been financial
- mafia's operating that were exclusively WASP and some may even still
- exist, but I tend to think that most have been absorbed by
- "multi-cultural" mafia's.
-
- It would also probably be fair to say that blacks, Poles, and Hispanics
- other than Cubans produced fair less than their share of financial
- criminals.
-
- If you want to look at privileged elites in this country right now,
- from a standpoint of examining ethicity you
- really need to look at two groups: WASP's and Jew. Certainly, Cubans,
- East Indians, and certain other Asian groups have gained a lot of
- ground, but these are still the two largest groups that have political,
- financial, academic and economic power in America today.
-
- I tend to think that it is an important question to ask to what extant
- each of these groups have acted in their own interest to the detriment
- of others-and whether each group has pathologies that are peculiar to their
- particular ethnicity. I also tend to think that this is a taboo o
- subject in the academic institutions of today-which is one of the
- reasons why the subject gets relegated to folks like Gritz. IMHO, most
- of the comments of Mr. Frank have served to reinforce this taboo rather
- than to create a more productive discourse.

- >He also forgot the Texan Hunt brothers (who tried to corner the world
- >silver market), who are really good ole boys.
- The fact that they got caught -and lost a lot of money in the process-
- is evidence of their incompetence. The real question is who are the
- folks who don't get caught? Or what other mischeif did the Hunt brothers
- pull without getting caught?

- Yes, but it would qualify as an institution that was highly influenced
- by ethnic ties.
