[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During my senior year at an Ivy, someone told me that America was 40% Jewish and like 5% total black and hispanic. [/quote]
No they just meant your Ivy was 40% Jewish [/quote]

Actually they were probably from the NY suburbs.   When I moved away from my NY hometown I was shocked to learn people in the rest of the country didn't get Jewish holidays off.  Living there gives you a distorted idea of the population distribution in this country. [/quote]

That's the case in most places.  I asked my son a few years ago and he thought AAs were about 30% of the population.  Meanwhile my Catholic enclave cousins didn't know Jews celebrate Thanksgiving and friends from northern Minnesota considered Italians "minorities".  [/quote]

My law school roommate went to a small college in Appalachia and she had never seen someone wearing a yarmulke before and asked me what it was after the first day of class. "Why were all those guys wearing beanies?" She thought it was a law fraternity. She also started law school with really long fake blue colored nails, she had gotten them done right before leaving home b/c to her they were the height of class/fashion. [/quote]
