4 lectures by Pinker, a Jewish professor, on the topic of why people hate Jews.
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Steven+Pinker+-+Jews%2C+Genes+and+IntelligenceHitler called out the top 2%, which was dog whistle for "Jews".
They are hated for being middlemen that get rich while producing nothing.
As Pinker points out, the Chinese and Indians do the same middleman work in Asia and are hated even more.
I would like to point out that income in the USA: 1) Indian, 2) Chinese, 3) Jewish.
And those immigrants from India are off the charts high income. It is not close.
Jews have the highest average IQ of 120.
Pygmies have the lowest average IQ of 60.
Australian aborigines' 65.
African blacks 70
American blacks 85
Pinker is true to his nature in running interference for his tribe. "They hate us because we're successful and we're successful because we're smart."
Right....Pinker is correct in that there is a similar pattern (which Thomas Sowell carefully phrased "middle men minorities" so as not to be targeted by the usual suspects).
But the claim of 120IQ for Jews is baloney.
Earlier in the 20th century, an elite/higher status Jewish day school had its students given an IQ test and the mean was in the neighborhood of ~115. That is where the 115-120 IQ number comes from (roughly one standard deviation above the mean white IQ in the USA). The study was fine for what it was, but using the results as a proxy for all Jews or all Jews in America is the sort of thing that gives statistics a bad name.
1. Sample from Jewish private upper class day school. It was the Jewish analog of an upper class Episcopal day school. Oddly enough, students at upper class Episcopal day schools score in the neighborhood of 115 on IQ tests, too.
2. Almost every Jewish student at that day school was Ashkenazi (roughly 50% jewish/levantine, 50% german/euro genetically). Ashkenazi IQ, when subjected to a statistically sound random sampling, averages about 105-107 on an IQ test. Roughly equivalent to the brighter Northern Europeans (Scandis, Finns, N Germans, N Brit Isles) and Northeast Asians (Han Chinese, Japanese, Koreans).
3. The other two main groups of Jews, Sephardic (with roots going back to medieval Spain) and Mizrahi (stayed in the middle east) score lower than the mean for whites in the USA.
What puts the Jews over the top in terms of success is strong in-group favoritism and out-group hatred. Jews like other Jews and Jews hate non-Jews. Their actions say it all:
1. Highly nepotistic (hiring relatives or co-ethnics over non-jews...the "nep" root in "nepotism" is the same "nep" in "nephew")
2. Highly antagonistic toward non-Jews. Just look at the naked hatred displayed by jews toward Russia. Jews especially hate middle & lower class Europeans, as they are some of the few who compete with them as a group.
Kevin MacDonald wrote a book looking at this sort of thing a few years back. Quite readable and worth your time:
