[quote=Anonymous][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]

The opposite of this would be my roommate from a wealthy area of Long Island .She thought America was 40 percent Jewish (that was her exact number) and 20 percent Asian until she was 20. She thought America was only about 2% black and Hispanic. [/quote]
