Jewish overrepresentation at elite universities explained
Kevin MacDonald on July 16, 2010 — 158 Comments Steve Sailer has an important blog at VDARE.com quoting from Russel K. Nieli’s essay on No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal: Race and Class in Elite College Admission and Campus Life by Thomas Espenshade and Alexandria Radford. It’s no surprise that there is affirmative action for Blacks and Latinos: “To have the same chances of gaining admission as a black student with an SAT score of 1100, an Hispanic student otherwise equally matched in background characteristics would have to have a 1230, a white student a 1410, and an Asian student a 1550.” Unfortunately, the authors lump Jews and non-Jews into the White category, but combining their results with what we know about Jewish admissions to elite universities yields some interesting results. In a 1998 op-ed (“Some minorities are more minor than others”), Ron Unz pointed out “Asians comprise between 2% and 3% of the U.S. population, but nearly 20% of Harvard undergraduates. Then too, between a quarter and a third of Harvard students identify themselves as Jewish, while Jews also represent just 2% to 3% of the overall population. Thus, it appears that Jews and Asians constitute approximately half of Harvard’s student body, leaving the other half for the remaining 95% of America” (See also Edmund Connelly’s take.) A 2009 article in the Daily Princetonian (“Choosing the Chosen People”) cited data from Hillel, a Jewish campus organization, that with the exception of Princeton and Dartmouth, on average Jews made up 24% of Ivy League undergrads. (Princeton had only 13% Jews, leading to much anxiety and a drive to recruit more Jewish students. The rabbi leading the campaign said she “would love 20 percent”—an increase from over 6 times the Jewish percentage in the population to around 10 times.) Jews therefore constitute a vastly disproportionate share of the population classified as White at elite universities. Data from an earlier study by Espenshade show that around half of the students at elite universities are classified as White, suggesting that Jews and non-Jews classified as White are approximately equal in numbers. (Given that students from the Middle East are also classified as White, there is the suggestion that Jews outnumber non-Jewish students of Christian European descent.) One might simply suppose that this is due to higher Jewish IQ. However, on the basis of Richard Lynn’s estimates of Ashkenazi Jewish IQ and correcting for the greater numbers of European Whites, the ratio of non-Jewish Whites to Jews should be around 7 to 1 (IQ >130) or 4.5 to 1 (IQ > 145). Instead, the ratio of non-Jewish Whites to Jews is around 1 to 1 or less. (See here.) So there must be some other reason besides IQ that Jews are such a large percentage of the population classified as White at elite universities. Espenshade and Radford show that there is discrimination against poor Whites and against non-urban Whites—exactly the population groups that are least likely to be Jewish. There is a “a general disregard for improving the admission chances of poor and otherwise disadvantaged whites.” When lower-class whites are matched with lower-class blacks and other non-whites the degree of the non-white advantage becomes astronomical: lower-class Asian applicants are seven times as likely to be accepted to the competitive private institutions as similarly qualified whites, lower-class Hispanic applicants eight times as likely, and lower-class blacks ten times as likely. These are enormous differences and reflect the fact that lower-class whites were rarely accepted to the private institutions Espenshade and Radford surveyed. Their diversity-enhancement value was obviously rated very low. One possible explanation is that the desire for better off students reflects the universities’ desire to have students who are better able to pay their way, so that more money can be diverted to less well-off non-Whites. Nieli points out that this “cannot explain why well-qualified lower-class whites are not at least offered admission without financial aid. The mere offer of admission is costless, and at least a few among the poor whites accepted would probably be able to come up with outside scholarship aid.” Right. Nieli suggests that the real reason that rejecting less well-off Whites benefits the university is because it raises the yield score (the ratio of those accepted to those who enroll) and lowers the acceptance rate (the ratio of applicants received to those accepted) on the theory that less well-off Whites would not be able to afford to attend without scholarship money that the university wants to reserve for non-Whites. This makes them look good to the rating agencies. This explanation seems rather ad hoc. Quite a few less well-off Whites would doubtless be willing to take out loans in order to satisfy their dream of an education at an elite university. To be convincing, Nieli should at least have some data supporting his theory. Even an anecdote or a colorful story gleaned from an academic cocktail party would be nice. The other finding is what might be called an urban/Blue State bias against rural and Red State occupations and values. This is most clearly shown in a little remarked statistic in the study’s treatment of the admissions advantage of participation in various high school extra-curricular activities. In the competitive private schools surveyed participation in many types of extra-curricular activities — including community service activities, performing arts activities, and “cultural diversity” activities — conferred a substantial improvement in an applicant’s chances of admission. The admissions advantage was usually greatest for those who held leadership positions or who received awards or honors associated with their activities. No surprise here — every student applying to competitive colleges knows about the importance of extracurriculars. But what Espenshade and Radford found in regard to what they call “career-oriented activities” was truly shocking even to this hardened veteran of the campus ideological and cultural wars. Participation in such Red State activities as high school ROTC, 4-H clubs, or the Future Farmers of America was found to reduce very substantially a student’s chances of gaining admission to the competitive private colleges in the NSCE database on an all-other-things-considered basis. The admissions disadvantage was greatest for those in leadership positions in these activities or those winning honors and awards. … Excelling in these activities “is associated with 60 or 65 percent lower odds of admission.” It’s interesting that the bias against Red State interests holds even when controlling for other variables such as family income. These students are being rejected not because of their family income but because of their attitudes and interests–a finding that casts doubt on the yield rate/acceptance rate explanation for the bias against less well-off Whites as well. These data strongly suggest that Jewish overrepresentation at elite universities has nothing to do with IQ but with discrimination against non-Jewish White Americans, especially those from the working class or with rural origins. It would be interesting to see the dynamics of the admissions process. How many admissions officers are Jewish? And, whether or not they are Jewish,what pressures are they under to admit Jewish students? The brouhaha that engulfed the Princeton campus because Jews were “only” overrepresented by around 6.5 times their percentage of the population suggests that there is considerable pressure for high levels of Jewish admission. The Daily Princetonian ran four front-page articles on the topic, and the New York Times ran an article titled “The Princeton Puzzle.” (See here; the original NYTimes article is here.) Clearly anything less than 20% Jewish enrollment would be met with raised eyebrows and perhaps intimations of anti-Semitism. The big picture is that this is a prime example of the corruption of our new elite. As noted previously, the poster child for this corruption is the nomination of Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court. The fact that she is a Princeton graduate now makes even more sense given that when she went to Princeton the percentage of Jews was around 18% — more in line with the de facto affirmative action policies favoring Jews that we see now in most Ivy League universities. Whatever else one can say about the new elite, it certainly does not believe in merit. The only common denominator is that Whites of European extraction are being systematically excluded and displaced to the point that they are now underrepresented in all the important areas of the elite compared to their percentage of the population. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net...ies-explained/ [normal whites are locked out of the better universities, but this is a double-edged score, as staying away from uni means avoiding debt, if the white is smart] |

Charlie Hebdo — The Gift That Keeps Giving
Francis Carr Begbie on February 3, 2015 — 2 Comments The Charlie Hebdo affair is the gift that keeps on giving if you want to understand the contours of power in the West today. There are many past incidents which, although trifling at the time, now take on a whole new importance when seen through the lens of Charlie Hebdo — this solid gold BBC radio debate is one of them. On Holocaust Memorial Day 2013 the Sunday Times ran a Gerald Scarfe cartoon which showed a bloodthirsty Binyamin Netanyaju cementing up a wall with the bodies of dead Palestinians. It was a gory, tasteless work which was par for the course for the artist and which would seem to fall well within the lampoonists terms of engagement as claimed by the post-modern supporters of #JeSuisCharlie — i.e. nothing is sacred and no-one is beyond satire. Except, as Gerald Scarfe was to discover, it turned out that some things are very much untouchable and unsayable. For the organised Jewish community reacted with predictable well-orchestrated incandescent rage and, equally predictably, the fearless News International caved in, withdrew the cartoon and responded with a fulsome apology from Rupert Murdoch himself. Despite Murdoch’s apology, the affair soon escalated. The Board of Jewish Deputies complained to the press regulator; the UK Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks said it had “caused immense pain to the Jewish community in the UK and around the world”. The Israeli ambassador was outraged. The Speaker of the House in Tel Aviv called on his Jewish counterpart in the House of Commons to take action. Even Tony Blair waded in. The Sunday Times set up immediate meetings to placate the Jewish community. Eventually Gerald Scarfe apologised for the “timing” of the cartoon. As a demonstration of national and international community power and a warning to others, it was impressive. Remember, all this happened the year before Operation Preventive Edge and the slaughter of more than 2000 Palestinians in Israeli bombardments. In the BBC radio debate the argument for a cartoonist’s free speech is made by that staunch man of the left, Guardian cartoonist Steve Bell, while his opponent is the pugnacious editor of the Jewish Chronicle , Stephen Pollard. Summarised, Pollard’s position seems to be that free speech is absolute, except that one must be aware of the consequences — in this case, offending the Jewish community and then dealing with threats of losing one’s job, etc. What that comes down to is that any any images of Israelis spilling the blood of Palestinians is off-limits because for Jews this dredges up memories of accusations that Jews ritually sacrificed non-Jewish children during the Middle Ages. This of course neatly de-legitimises any mention of the deaths of children in the Gaza massacres. The same logic would apply to any critical depiction of the culture of the Holocaust. The “blood sacrifice” angle, which must have baffled many listeners, gave Pollard a peg to hang his argument on. He took particular exception to the illustration of blood dripping off Netanyahu’s trowel. He makes the assertion that the cartoon amounts repeating the “blood libel” that non-Jewish children are ritually sacrificed by the Jews. He also asserted that such criticisms are illegitimate and should not be published on Holocaust Memorial Day, a self-serving argument if ever there was one. Bell’s response is half-hearted and uninformed. “The problem with this argument is that extraneous emotions like blood libel are drawn in,” he says feebly. Bell said the cartoon was anti-Netanyahu rather than anti-Jewish. Pollard was having none of it. “I defy anyone not to see that this cartoon is about Benjamin Netanyahu glorifying in the blood of Palestinians.” So the pattern of complete intolerance to criticism of Israel, even in cartoon fashion, was there two years ago. But now thanks to the Charlie Hebdo affair, we have a prism through which to view it clearly. The Jews as an elite group will react to a cartoon they find offensive by demanding apologies and doing their best to get the culprit fired. In any case, they have raised the costs of printing any cartoon that even mentions that Israelis have shed the blood of Palestinians. Cartoonists like Scarfe and Bell will certainly think twice before they produce a similar cartoon. Muslims, as a non-elite group, have no other option than to react to such cartoons with murder. The same can be said about Muslim reaction to politicians who oppose Muslim immigration. Which is why Geert Wilders is under protective guard at all times. But in either case, the bottom line is to control public discourse related to their ethnic group. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net...-keeps-giving/ |

Poor whites get a hard time getting freebies, while the average street wise black momma pulls in on an average of 43 thousand in benefits. Only the Hassid Jewess can compete with the black momma, she can bring in the same plus a free Hebrew education for her Yiddles. The problem poor whites face applying for benefits is there is always a black supplying the freebies. After being forced to return many times to get the required documents the poor white usually gives up and try's street begging to survive.

Low level Jews are not interested in anything but paying their bills.Concern for Israel is almost non existent among secular American Jews. The security of themselves is their main concern. But there are bogus groups claiming to represent American Jews asking for US aid for Israel. They only represent Israel.

There was never an ability of Israel to create a nuke. They were given them by bribery. Suitcases full of hundreds dollar bills could even get a politician to hand over their wife. Storage of the nukes seems impossible without being detected. But mini nukes can be kept in the Vatican vaults until needed.

Jews Shave And Bathe Daily.
Orthodox Jews represent only 10% of the Jewish people. It is a misrepresentation depicting faces with ugly curls coming down the side of their faces as normal Jews. Most Jews shave and bathe daily before wearing expensive designer clothes. They wear cologne purchased in Macys or Bloomindale for 100 bucks. They are not seen in Synagogues but at fine restaurants and trendy night clubs. Most earn over 200 thousand yearly as lawyers and stock brokers.
