Bigger question: Why bring race up at all, then? Class has demonstrably larger effect. The 1% are very disproportionately represented in the Ivy League, too.

- mikemotherwell 8y agoIs that how the system works? I'm not American, but it seems like race does get factored in. Or am I just sorely mistaken?
- _red 8y agoA couple of interesting questions: 1. Is being Jewish a race or a religion? 2. Being Jewish is also strongly correlated to class. 44% of Jews earn 100K+. Thats compared to ~20% for Christian, 19% Catholic, 20% Islam. (Interestingly Hindus are close at 36%).
