I just read an article about post World War II Czechoslovakia and an exiled
Czech president had the last name of Benes. Has anything ever been made about
Elaine's heritage? (and I don't mean religion.) Perhaps she is "related" to
the pitching Benes brothers from the St. Louis Cardinals.

A really obscure piece of trivia: "Benes" was the name of the guy whose
body was explored by miniturized people in the 60s sci-fi classic
"Fantastic Voyage".

There must be a clue in the way she says,"JehhREE!" when they are
looking for him in the parking garage of the mall in NJ where Kramer
buys the air conditioner.

No one really cares, except racists and bigots that want to argue about it

The next logical step of that PC "diversity" drivel: a simply inquiry
as to a person's ethnic background is now equivalent to bigotry.

Elaine is a WASP.

Remember the circumsision episode where Jerry laughed at her for having
gone to the best prep schools and having to look for a moyle (don't know
if that is the proper spelling)

Or that her father is an acclaimed author named Alton who looks a like
George C. Scott?

She is Catholic.
How can she be a WASP?
Not that there's anything wrong with that?

Hey, wait a minute. That was 'Dave v1.0' that said that.
I'm sure the upgrade comes with some tolerance and understanding.

<G>

The beta of the next upgrade is not quite ready for release...

My point was driven (and I know you know this, you've been around here
long enough) at the legions who "innocently" inquire about
race/religion/shoe size just to then start a stupid argument about it.


So, what features (besides tolerance and understanding) would you like to
see in the next upgrade?

It's called a New Yawk accent. Everyone on Seinfeld has it, almost.

Yes, WASP literally means "Protestant," but in these days, WASP means any
well-bred white...in high shool you called them "preps" or "preppies."
