There's no way to tell whether those numbers are evidence for or against discrimination because there's no control group of culturally blank ivy leagues to compare it against.
- bradrn 5y agoI think the point is that there was extensive discrimination against Jews, but now it’s stopped, and the data show this.
- upbeat_general 5y agoI think the data only shows that they’re over represented compared to the normal population and there isn’t that much discrimination. There’s still discrimination against Asian applicants and they’re also over represented so I don’t think the data shows that it’s necessarily stopped.
- Overton-Window 5y agoWhen Whites are overrepresented we're told it's systemic racism. When Jews are overrepresented we're told it's an anti-semitic conspiracy theory.
