Justin's Origin

Okay, didn't really know what to put for the subject line.

Anyway, I was wondering if it is every said in the show where Justin's family like "originates" from. Like Brian's is Irish and Michael's is Italian. Thanks for any help.

Sort of FOUND in comments. Thanks everyone!

I don't think we are ever told. Taylor is an English surname, though, so I think it is safe to assume he is at least part English on his father's side.

He says he's a WASP Country Club kid. WASP = White Anglo-Saxon Protestant,
so the Taylors are probably descended from English Colonial stock. St. James
is an Episcopalian school, so I'd assume that's what the Taylors are, too.

Thank you for your reasoning on Justin's origin. How do we know that St. James is Episcopalian? Was it mentioned on the show, or were there characteristics I didn't recognize? Sorry, I'm so clueless about this stuff.

Well, it isn't Roman Catholic, but St. James is a popular Anglican Church
name -- plus, Episcopalian is considered the church of the "upper classes."
It's "high church" as compared to Methodist or Baptist, which is "low church,"
which were churches of working class and, later, middle class people. Many of
the WASP prep schools are affiliated with the Episcopal Church and are
considered the elite.

Ah, I see. Thank you for the explanation.

Ita with [livejournal.com profile] gaedhal, I think it's the only right explanation about Justin's origin;)

Anyway,if I may, I suggest you to change your subject line to "Justin's origin", it'll be a great help to our fav mods;)

You are always looking out for us, [livejournal.com profile] masterglory! :)

I was going to let "What is Justin?" stand, lol, but "Justin's origin" is much more self-explanatory for people looking through the archives, so thanks to both of you.
