A fascinating story on how the success of Jews was resented and how they were “put in place” by the dominant establishment.

In the early years of last century, Jews were recent immigrants and prioritized education of their children over everything else.

They were subject to among others things geographical quotas, allegations that their children were peculiar and not “well rounded” and that they were resource hoarders.  Laws and policies were implemented at the best of schools to keep Jews out of elite colleges.

It is the same set of forces at play with Asian-Americans.  Resentment of the Asian American success is pushing so called “reform” with the express purpose of containing their success.  The Jewish community is one of the most successful ones today because they never gave up and never gave in.  And so will the Asian Americans.  [/quote]

Not the same set of forces at all.

Jewish people faced real bigotry and were broadly disdained.

For TJ, people think the near non-existence of URMs/low income students is unacceptable. It’s nothing against wealthy Asians (sense of entitlement aside).
