	Boston Brahmin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boston Brahmins, also called the First Families of Boston are a blue-blooded class of New Englanders who claim hereditary or cultural descent from the Anglo-Saxon Protestants who founded the city of Boston, Massachusetts and originally settled New England.
		The assertion that they are "Brahmin" is not just a claim of high social class, but also of cultural, intellectual, and possibly spiritual leadership; these roles were performed by the namesake caste that existed in India.
		The nature of the Brahmins is summarized in the doggerel poem, "Boston Toast," by John Collins Bossidy.

	What's a Boston Brahmin? - And has Kerry really earned the name? By Andy Bowers
		In India, a Brahmin is "a member of the highest or priestly caste among the Hindus," according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
		Although some now think of the Kennedys as Brahmins because of their wealth and prestige, the family was certainly not part of the WASP club when it began its rags-to-riches climb.
		Pigeon holing Kerry as a Brahmin is flawed, and doesn't quite reflect the ethnic divisions of Massachusetts politics.

	Minnesotan Accents (midwest usa) (page 3) \| Antimoon Forum
		The New England Brahmin or Boston Brahmin accent (not to be confused with the more "bourgeois" Boston accent) is an elegant, affected, and "British-sounding" way of speaking that most Americans would now consider "uppity", "snooty", or "old-fashioned".
		The old Hollywood stars were trained to speak in a manner not unlike Boston Brahmin, but I think the accent was manufactured by the old movie studios so that all their stars would have that distinct "Hollywood Accent." Nobody spoke like that in the real world.
		Brahmin is a term (believed to have been coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes in the late 19th century) used to refer to the Boston aristocracy -- older Yankee families who controlled much of Boston's wealth and power.

		The Brahmins chose not to aid the new immigrants because these people didn't share the strict moral and religious values that the Brahmins adhered to. This nativism was also seen in their social control over Boston.
		Eventually the Brahmins did, however, feel that it was necessary to contribute to the social welfare of the rest of city to an extent.
		While the Brahmins' political, economic, and social contributions have helped to make Boston one of America's most powerful and culturally influential cities, their ethnocentric views of other cultures and socio-economic classes continues to contribute to class tensions even today.
