In the fait accompli critical theory, postmodern, equity "understanding" of society, all groups are equal in all relevant respects, and so if there are disparate outcomes, it's because society has done something (bad) to cause groups to have differential outcomes. This is accepted without question by the modern left, even though no proof is ever offered. It's certainly the case that people more accomplished than I have been fired for saying far less than I did in my 'what if men are just better?' thread.
Although I predict this thread to have a similar outcome as that one (that is, the people who categorically believe that nearly all relevant differences between men and women is due to social conditioning and/or discrimination, continuing to believe that), I nevertheless want to float another idea, and probably an idea that won't be too popular with the antisemitic left:
Jews are just better at almost every human endeavour (except, I think, sporting/athletic achievement).
What do I mean by this? I mean, for a group that is less than 0.2% of the world population, and 2% of the American population, Jewish achievement is staggeringly disproportionate to its population. Twenty percent of Nobel prize winners are Jewish, (and probably more if Jewish ancestry is considered more broadly). A quarter of Fields medallists (the highest prize in Mathematics) are Jewish.
The success is not confined merely to sciences; Jewish talent is staggeringly abundant in the arts as well. More than a third of Academy Award Best Director trophies went to Jewish directors; more than two-thirds of Tony-award winning composers and lyricists are Jewish. Jewish comedians number among the most successful of all time. Jewish achievement in politics and finance and economics and industry and medicine and literature are widely known.
In the first half of the twentieth century, American universities had quotas to keep out the allegedly 'feeble minded' Jewish population. No doubt similar quotas apply today under 'diversity' initiatives.
I think that Jewish success is partly--or perhaps mostly--explained by higher than average intelligence in the Ashkenazi Jewish population. But explaining differential success between groups as partly dependent on intelligence is anathema to the left. It is forbidden. It is verboten.
The only thing that can explain Jewish success relative to other groups is Jewish privilege. Jews are not just white-adjacent. They must be superwhites.
