I don't know if WASP was suggested in jest or not but it should not be used. It has a common meaning of White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (usually male) American and is usually used in conjunction with discrimination against various groups such as blacks, Asians or Jews who are not white, Anglo-Saxon and Protestant.
