Interesting, I'll admit to having read this statistic somewhere in passing, and can't remember the source, let alone attest to the study quality.

What about the well attested overrepresentation of Ashkenazi Jews among Nobel Prize winning scientists, would you say this is due to cultural and economic factors? Just genuinely curious here.

I gotta say I still have some issues with broad strokes though. If you removed all the Black people, who you suggest are 'the problem', you will undoubtedly remove some of them at the top of the Black IQ bell curve that are smarter than some of the Asians you did not get rid of. Are you advocating for an IQtocracy, or a RaceTocracy I guess is my question, because while correlated, they are not the same.

I think there are a variety of factors. Jews tend to be very ambitious, cross promote each other, and have generations of accumulated wealth to draw upon to ensure success. Plus Jewish culture does put a strong emphasis on academic achievement. They are good at identifying those that are gifted and helping them to succeed. I remember reading that during bar mitvah's Rabbis would interview the kid and kind of get an idea of if he was someone promising.

There may have also been isolated pockets of far flung Jewish communities that achieved some measure of higher intelligence by accepting in promising goy converts, and there seems to be a sort of Jewish aristocracy or elite that may be more intelligent than the rank and file.

Im not advocating for any of those things, but I cant speak for others. As for black people being 'the problem'. I dont think they are THE problem. Blacks from Africa that I've come across arent anywhere near as hostile and violent as those from the US, and many older African Americans dont have the hostility and dysfunction the younger ones have, because they werent raised to blame anything and everything on whitey. Jewish incitement and promotion of the worst of black America is what the problem is. It's bad for the country, bad for blacks themselves, and certainly bad for whites(although some alt righters love that it can help promote white identity, unite whites and will quite possibly result in an enough is enough breaking point one day). Anti white Jews have weaponized black dysfunction and disaffection to serve their own interests.

I can understand these points. I'm not here to preach wokism, don't believe in that myself. I just find that sometimes discussions on race ignore some of these cultural, economic and other factors. I think we at least found some common ground there.
