It's strange to split whites into those two categories since Jews represent a trivially small group, why not Italian/Greek and German/Scandinavian ancestry that is somewhat similar to East/South Asian split?

Ashkenazim have unusually high average IQ scores.

(There is also a North/South divide in Europe but Northern Italy is in the high IQ group.)

This is idiotic. I lumped Whites and Jews into one category (since there is a subset of Jews that don’t consider themselves white), East and South Asians into another. Read more carefully before you cast aspersions.

Maybe it's meant to be a positive presentation? I remember reading somewhere that Ashkenazis have excellent educational attainment.
