The Will Sexton Files

But my goal is to have everybody come back to that, is to have everybody rejoin the WASP reverence. Because that's the only way in which Americanization can really work is if we have this societal reverence. And that's how it was solved back then. And so the way in which we solved it back then was we had this Boston Brahmin elite of WASP and everybody revered them and so everybody eventually wanted to become like them, to become American. And that's how we created the cohesive American identity. And I think as the American identity is now being litigated again, that's what we need to do is we need to recenter on that and on Americanizing people.
