There is no actual singular American phenotype at this time, and the way the world is now I doubt there will be as that pertains to those of European descent. America has too many European ethnicities, and many regions are still very ethnic centric, where you are not going to find more than two to three predominate in a family.
Furthermore, the entire notion of WASP was fabricated to a great degree solely for marketing purposes, and is very old hat just looking at the hideous non-European models pushed in the past 25 years. Most so-called WASPs in the US are not even pure Anglo-Saxons, but as mixed of any other European descendent ethnicities. The Anglo-Saxons are not predominately blond or fair eyed.

Read between what lines? Defend certain people? Sure, namely my people. I happen to be an Anglo Protestant, and I can assure you that we aren't mythological.
It's also no mystery that most of the old money in America as well as the rest of the Anglosphere(Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc), are WASPs. The establishment, and old money in all these nations is and has been Anglo Saxon protestants, and that stereotype is not a mythological one as business acumen is something we're noted for. And yes, blue eyes are more common in our ethnic group than in many others (Irish, Italian, etc.) whch came to the new world in significant numbers. I don't believe anyone ever claimed WASPs to be exclusively blue eyed, however. As far as hair color goes, of course it's not exclusively blonde, and I don't think any stereotype ever cast it as such. Hair color among the WASPy varies like with all European peoples. So I don't know what you mean by "in reality doesn't exist exclusively", or who it was supposed to be "sold" to. But generally, the stereotype is fairly accurate. After all, aren't most stereotypes?

Upper middle class look...
They're all English/German/Irish mixes with a small amount of French and Dutch thrown in. Fairly common ethnicity mixes in America.

I asked for clarificaton on statements of yours which were erroneous and did not express a coherent thought. That's what you have to do when you're in dialogue with someone who, for whatever reason, can not communicate coherently. I made statements which addressed your "points", because that's the purpose of this particular realm of discourse. I ended with a rhetorical question, which further illustrated one of my points.
For some reason this appears to have all been far too abstract for you. But hey, don't worry, if you keep making ad hominem attacks no one will noticed that your statements have been succesfully refuted, as long as you keep ignoring it. That's working out really well. And don't worry, it's not REALLY REALLY noticable or anything...

5 Stages of Grief:
Denial: The initial stage: "It can't be happening." Maniot is on top of me.
Anger: "Why ME? It's not fair?!" (either referring to God, oneself, or Maniot perceived, rightly or wrongly, as "responsible")
Bargaining: "Just let me stay to post another day Maniot, please."
Depression: "I'm so sad, why are you picking on me Maniot?"
Acceptance: "It's going to be OK." There is always Skadi.

You could only make that asserton if you presumed I was trying to befriend or influence you. But hey, keep making irrelevant personal attacks. That way noone will notice how your "points" were eviscerated and you had your ass handed to you. If you just make childish cut downs instead no one will ever notice!!
