How NOT to explain Jewish overrepresentation in important sectors of our economy and culture:

1. They have, on average, higher IQs and therefore excel in pursuits such as the law, science, business, the arts, etc. (But then there's this other group that has, on average, lower IQs and are therefore underrepresented in these same fields, but we aren't allowed to notice that.)

2. They have a culture which emphasizes education and moral behavior which leads to greater success. (But then there are these other cultures which actively oppose education and are cynical regarding moral behavior leading to more imprisonment than success and we aren't allowed to notice that.)

3. They are more supportive of one another, and in a world where it's more about who you know than what you know this leads to greater success for all of them. (But that sort of reasoning is stereotypical and leads to accusations of nepotism and conspiracy so that is not allowed to be the answer.)

4. They are still God's Chosen People. (But we are all atheists now, and there is no god, or else God has now selected American Protestants as the new Chosen People, so that can't be it.)

Oh, is that so? That can't be right. How interesting if true.

Jews only make up 2% of the US, but are some of the most common people in the public eye, and behind it.

Jews make up 11% of the Supreme Court, for instance.

I'm not against Jews being in such position, but, really, they are an incredibly outsized, tiny minority of the US, and the world.

God’s People are those who follow Him.

Do Christians follow God, or not?

Jews say they don’t. Do you?
