>And by this same logic, the Nobel Committee for Physics has an obvious historical bias towards Jews, right?

No, because Ashkenazi Jews have been demonstrated to perform significantly better on IQ tests on average, and performance on IQ tests is associated with various intellectual outcomes like winning the Nobel Prize. On the other hand, lesbians haven't been demonstrated to perform better on any kind of metrics associated with success at firefighting, and the greater difficulty women face gaining muscle mass puts them at a disadvantage.

The correlation between Jews and Nobel Prize is much more likely attributed to social factors.

Why?

Rabbinal Judaism has existed for nearly 2000 years, and prizes debate and logical examination.

Jewish people, particularly those that left the Middle East during diaspora, tend to have high IQ when measured, and tend not to marry outside their group. The brain is not special and different groups people differ in that organ the same way different groups differ in their muscles and blood.

Finally and quite sadly many Jewish people have been targeted viciously by individuals and governments and invading systematic execution requires a certain degree of wits.

Do you really think being a successful leader in a fire department is about muscle mass and genetics?

Or that IQ tests predict physics Nobels?
