Posted by QuantumIt's the majority? Ok, I don't know the demographics of the US now.
Because they represent a majority in the United States.
Movies are produced to make money.
Your product or service should match the demand if you want to sell it.
If you want to sell it to the majority, it has to match the demand of the majority.
It's basic economics.

Posted by firebunnyI'm kind of surprised. Yes, I know the white population comprises the majority of the people in the US but there are many different kinds of White in the US, right? Not just Anglo-Saxons?Posted by QuantumIt's the majority? Ok, I don't know the demographics of the US now.

It's the same with McDonald's commercials. McD's has shifted its marketing towards the lower income brackets, which are mostly minorities. The commercials reflect that majority...most actors are either Hispanic or black outright. Or, they've also been using ethnically ambiguous actors that you're not really sure what they are.

But this post is on the lighter side of things. Please don't take this seriously. I just want to know more about WASP Families and whatever things I may learn from them. I'm just curious... so please excuse my curiosity.
Anyway, my questions are the following:
(1) where are they concentrated?
(2) why are they often made a central theme in various movies (e.g. Meet the Parents)?
(3) do the following movies portray WASP Families too:
(a) Jumanji
(b) Addams' Family
Sorry for my eager curiosity.
