The Secrets of Jewish Genius

Now, I’m going to stop right there to point out a few things. This is The New York Times which means it’s base readership includes a number of people with Semitic heritage some of whom are entirely secular. Many of the ‘Geniuses’ cited were notable Atheists. Despite Executive Orders to the contrary ‘Judaism’ is a religion not a race. You can convert if you want to (No lobster? Non-starter.).
Now to be fair to Bret perhaps it’s not his headline. These things happen. The problem is the content is not just Anti-Semitic, it’s Racist.
Jews are, or tend to be, smart. When it comes to Ashkenazi Jews, it’s true. “Ashkenazi Jews have the highest average I.Q. of any ethnic group for which there are reliable data,” noted one 2005 paper. “During the 20th century, they made up about 3 percent of the U.S. population but won 27 percent of the U.S. Nobel science prizes and 25 percent of the ACM Turing awards. They account for more than half of world chess champions.”
Ok, generally speaking, like Islam Judism has 2 branches, Ashkenazi and Sephardic. Sephardic literally means “Spanish Jews” and for nearly a thousand years they lived a relatively unpersecuted existence under the protection of Muslims who regarded them as fellow “people of the Book” (as indeed they did Christians, terribly tolerant folks those Muslims). Spain was the home of many famous and influential Rabbis and one could argue (and Sephardic Jews will until you distract them with something else) that their practices and rituals are more authentic representations of Abraham, Moses, David, and Solomon because they were not repressed.
In Catholic Europe however the Ashkenazi were brutally oppressed and often had to ‘pass’ to avoid harassment.
Territories under the Byzantines and later the Eastern Orthodox Church also allowed more open religious expression for Jews and the Rabbis of Spain developed large followings.
So Sephardic Jews tend to be a bit more Hispanic, more Slavic, and fit the Anti-Semitic stereotypes of sub-human Neanderthals while the “civilized”, assimilated (or beaten into compliance, take your pick) Ashkenazi are good Jews, bright Jews, cultured Jews. The kind you want doing your taxes because they’re good with money, you’d hardly notice they were Jewish at all unless you gang showered with them at the Country Club (for the record I am both circumcised and not Jewish).
You know, the kind that are replacing all us good decent Christian White folks.
The descendants of European immigrants do not govern the United Sates of America today. The foreign and domestic policies of the country are made by Jews and their lackeys. Julius Streicher

Jewish people are overly represented in certain professions because they were excluded from others, same as women and blacks. Why do you think the Irish are stereotyped as Bar Owners, Cops, and Firemen? It’s not an indicator of a vast Irish conspiracy.
Though if I said so do you think I would get as famous as “Q”?
