It's not just Facebook. Jews are massively over-represented at the highest levels of society in most fields.
<2% of population in America, <0.25% globally. But:
20% of Nobel prize winners
10-25% of Harvard students (depending on source and school)
33% of US supreme court (3/9)
6% of US Congress
8% of US Senate
There are equally or more extreme numbers for things like movie studio leadership, rech company leadership, newsmakers and opinion writers, actors, comedians, etc. I just don't have time to look up the figures atm.
To be clear, I'm not saying there's anything wrong or right about this; it's just an easily-verifiable physical fact.
- ebiggs 8y agoOn a world scale this is interesting: Jews are only 0.2% of the World’s population, but 17.46% of the World’s billionaires. Thus their representation is 8,730% of their population share. Of course any non-idiot would see this as simply an interesting fact worthy of researching out how being a jew correlates with success in a merit-based competency hierarchy... and not a reason to hate jews for conspiring to take over the world. While we're at it, we should probably also chill out on white men in general too.
