White Anglo-Saxon Protestant
The 1921 [[Emergency Quota Act]] and the [[Immigration Act of 1924]] restricted immigration according to national origins. While the Emergency Quota Act used the 1910 [[census of the United States|census]], xenophobic fears in the [[White Anglo-Saxon Protestant|WASP]] community lead to the adoption of the 1890 census, which was more favorable to the WASP population, in the Immigration Act, which responded to the rising immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe as well as Asia.
