Sorry bud, but according to hillel.org its about half of that[1]. Admittedly that is the higher than the percentage of the US population, which is between 1-3%[2] depending on how you count.

I am not your buddy, and you cannot read.

I wrote "For decades there was a policy" and if you follow and read the link the immediately following text is "These policies eventually died out in the 1950s, as World War II veterans began to enter college on the GI Bill."

Since you brought up "the narrative", you must certainly know that narratives change over time.

I mentioned this to show that the narrative which once excluded Jews from the Ivy League has indeed changed, and Jews are now treated more "white" than they used to be.

For that matter, Finnish people are now treated as 100% white, when a century ago many Europeans and Americans considered them to be Mongolians and thus Asian - "China Swedes" in American slang - and some wanted them to be subject to the Asian Exclusion Act.
