Solution

The correct answer is B. white Anglo-Saxon Protestants.

The historical dominance of white Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs) in U.S. culture is evidenced by the widespread use of the terms “race” and “ethnicity” to describe everyone but the members of that category. This group has been historically dominant in U.S. culture, and their identity is often considered the "default," hence the use of specific terms to describe all other groups.
