In Winnipeg Canada every summer there's a 2 week long party called Folklorama that celebrates the cultural and ethnic diversity of the city. Any ethnic or cultural group can set up a pavilion and throw a party. Aside from the usual sorts, Australian, American, British, Scottish etc cultural groups have been represented. So its possible to have such a celebration of WASP types without the rancor that I've seen down here.
