[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it that, in all of the discussions around race, fairness, college admissions, etc is it the case that the overrepresentation of the Jewish population in Ivy League schools is never discussed?

“40% of students at Columbia and UPenn are now Jewish.“

“2.2% of US adult population has some basis for Jewish self-identification”

Should we be drawing swastikas on school grounds? Hell no. Should we have an open discussion around the systemic issues that are leading to one group being so remarkably over overrepresented and the level of suppressed antagonistic thoughts that may be brewing under the surface and leading to these aggressive behaviors?

Let’s see how the board responds to such a thought.

I mean these stats are remarkable. [/quote]

I can't even express how angry this post makes me. Are you trying to justify anti-antisemitism by saying that people are aggrieved that Jews are "over represented"? Kind of like "we brought it on ourselves"? Thank you for trolling in typical antisemitic tropes! Pathetic-you sound paranoid and jealous on top of blatantly antisemitic.

The PP is pointing out a resentment that is partially fueling the antisemitic wave and is dismissed and personally attacked as antisemitic because of it. Whether or not Ivy overrepresentation is true, I've observed this kind of resentment goes much deeper than that. Calmer heads are needed for solutions.[/quote]
