So being intellectually curious and working hard priveleges you? Whats new?

What do you mean by disproportionate? There are a disproportionate amount of black basketball players. What about all the Jews who want to play professsional basketball..... People who put the effort in (as individuals) get the rewards...

Since

Balls. I live in the UK. Jews represent 0.3 of a percentage point of the population here. I think it is less in the states. So there are far less Jews than either group, purely from the numbers of Jews in the country.

There may be a higher proportion, but are you going to penalise people for being succesful? Stop Jews from going to college or something?

and

Not at all. I look down on people who cant reason. Who dont take the information they have and the information others give them to form a rational coherent and logical argument... I know highly educated people who cant do that. And I know "uneducated" people that can.

and out of curiousity, do you find your

My religion and my race are the same thing. But I live in the UK. TBH, I have experienced some nasty things as a result of who I am. It is only a source of conflict when people say things about Jews they a) wouldnt say about another group of people and b) wouldnt like to people to say about their own group of people...
