This is obviously a highly polarizing subject, but get your heads out of the sand...Ashkenazi Jews have been persecuted throughout history way more than current US Blacks. Sixty years ago the Ashkenazi Jews were pretty much robbed of everything, and had to start over again as poor immigrants. They've done ok since then.
Ashkenazi Jews FTW:
.2% of world population
25% of science Nobel Prize winners
27% of Ivy League students
16% of Time's Most Important 25 People
...and Albert Einstein

Apparently Einstein once said, "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler."
You are making quite a few assumptions in your comparison of Ashkenazi Jews to Black Americans.

I thnk that's a great quote and very applicable to this conversation. However, I think my argument still holds true. Of course, "race facts" do not define individuals, nor should they ever. What assumptions am I making?
