I note that over 50% of entering Harvard (Creams the Bell Curve) are either ethnic Ashkenazim Jews or East Asians. Flynn feels East Asians thrive because of their bourgeois values; I suspect the 109 Figure (Herrnstein and Murray)as well as the average 115 for A. Jews is the real reason for both ethnic group their successes.
Please note, I am not a Jew but Christ is.
now that is almost certainly not related to intelligence. It would be easy to fill those spots with any ethnic group, with thousands to choose from, if iQ were the basis. Those kids are triumphant competitors in the rigorous obstacle course of extra-curricular activities, essays, recommendations , etc. that impress the committees. It is the cultural boost they get within the ethnic values that gains them those positions.
