[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In Israel they are less competitive than in places where they are minorities. [/quote] I grew up Jewish in USSR, and in my family there was a sense that to do as well as a non-Jewish person (get the same award, be accepted into the same college) you had to do not just better, but 10 times better. In the course of my childhood, USSR fell, state-sanctioned antisemitism all but disappeared, and other ethnic tensions took place of day-to-day antisemitism in my place of birth, now a small independent country. Jewish kids of my generation were still encouraged to study hard, but compared to our parents and grandparents, we are total slackers.[/quote] That was not unique, in the USSR most minorities fell into the same category[/quote]
