Okay, and when are we gonna talk about Jewish privilege? Because they get all the benefits of white privilege when they're white-passing, PLUS the benefits of being Jewish!

(Ynetnews is an Israeli paper, by the way)

"Since the mass immigration some 100 years ago, Jews have become richest religious group in American society. They make up only 2% of US population, but 25% of 400 wealthiest Americans. How did it happen, and how crucial is their aid to Israel?"

Hmmm...

Or how about the drawbacks of being Jewish? According to the FBI (https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/hate-crime/2013/topic-... "Of the 1,223 victims of anti-religious hate crimes: 60.3 percent were victims of crimes motivated by their offenders’ anti-Jewish bias."

Perhaps Jews do so well because Judaism teaches critical thinking and education as a philosophy, whereas Christianity teaches obedience and the power of wishful thinking. Only one of these schools of thoughts helps you in the real world.

And yet, no one has a "Perhaps white people do so well because..." and if they do, they're racist. Right?
