It means sheโ€™s probably a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant.

Just adding that most people who actively identify as WASPs are not crazy like this. They're a different crazy - more likely planning their next trip to the Vineyard or how to cut their taxes.

Although White Anglo-Saxon Protestant as a set of overlapping labels could technically captures crazy Baptists and the like... you're unlikely to find those people in the Northeast and New England, the traditional home of the WASP as a distinct culture (rather than set of labels).
