Go through the usual calculations of what percent of Fortune 500 CEOs are Jewish, etc. <BR/><BR/>But you have to make sure they're not German; Hitler's chief of anti-semitism was named Alfred Rosenberg. You wonder what people would have thought of him if he came here. I knew one girl with a German name who was constantly getting pestered by Jewish groups... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-65652999518382101032008-11-26T08:58:00.000-08:002008-11-26T08:58:00.000-08:00Thanks but if I'd known you were going to take ano...Thanks but if I'd known you were going to take another run at it I would have suggested you take a different approach that would have been more difficult but would have been more worthy of induction:<BR/><BR/>Look at the ecological correlation between racial demography and and actual occupation of positions of trust and authority. I suspect Jews would come out higher relative to non-Jewish whites due to two effects:<BR/><BR/>1) Stronger extended phenotypic effects of group behavior (not the same as "thinking" behavior measured by your "ethnocentrism") of blacks and Jews on the human ecology. Whites and East Asians tending to lose out and south Asians tending to hold their own.<BR/><BR/>2) The fact that IQ is a bell-shaped curve, so increasing population linearly does not help as much as you might think. East Asians and Jews tending to win with blacks tending to lose out.Jim Boweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686155123469135528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-2870602089852186482008-11-25T19:14:00.000-08:002008-11-25T19:14:00.000-08:00I wonder how inter-marriage rates effect power?

I'm thinking that inter-marriage could be a way to transfer between groups and the ease or otherwise of that transfer might undermine/enhance the power of a group.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-19661687471193726742008-11-25T12:24:00.000-08:002008-11-25T12:24:00.000-08:00Does it make sense to treat Asians as one moderate...Does it make sense to treat Asians as one moderately big and therefore powerful ethnic group when (as you note) they act as several different groups with no collective loyalty as Asians?James Kalbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262354596266250867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-65302193813630546272008-11-25T09:09:00.000-08:002008-11-25T09:09:00.000-08:00it's certainly interesting, but i'm not sure that ...it's certainly interesting, but i'm not sure that thinking of ethnicity first when considering political issues means the same thing to non-black minorities in the US.<BR/><BR/>to wield influence, u need to vote. look at the exit polls, whites votes overrepresented their population level and black votes approximately equalled their population level.<BR/><BR/>asians voted at 45% of their population level and hispanics voted at 60%.<BR/><BR/>u also need to run for office. i would guess that asians run for office less frequently than other races, but i have no stats for that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
