“Jewish Superiority” or Ethnic Networking?

Let's Ask Prof Kevin MacDonald!

Excuse us for noticing, but Jews (i.e. people who would be considered automatic citizens of Israel) are wildly over-represented in American society’s most desirable, powerful and privileged positions. Of the 100 richest Americans, somewhere in the neighborhood of 30% to 50% are Jewish – not bad for a group that makes up less than 2% of the population! Jews completely dominate Hollywood and the media, contribute close to half of the bribes (I mean “campaign contributions”) in federal elections, make up about one-third of the Supreme Court, and dominate banking and finance. And so on and so forth.

One explanation for this is “Jewish superiority“: Jews are that much smarter than the goyim. Philip Weiss, author of the classic essay Do Jews Dominate in American Media? And So What If We Do? has offered a different explanation: Ethnic networking. Weiss admits he just feels more comfortable with fellow Jews, figures other Jews feel the same way, and reasonably surmises that Jews tend to hire and promote fellow Jews for this reason. That is why, according to Weiss, “Jews make up a significant proportion of power positions in media, half, if not more.”

In other words, just as certain ethnic groups colonize certain neighborhoods in American cities – they “just feel comfortable” living near each other – so Jews have colonized the most powerful and privileged positions in American society.

Today’s radio guest Kevin MacDonald, Professor of Psychology at California State University – Long Beach, has done extensive empirical research on this topic. His conclusion: Though Jewish IQs are slightly higher, on the average, than non-Jewish IQs, the rather stunning over-representation of Jews at America’s elite universities, and other positions of power and privilege, cannot be explained by ability or intelligence.

Dr. MacDonald citing Ron Unz, writes: “Because of their role in replenishing elites, university admissions is a huge lever of power. The implication of Unz’s article (although he would probably shy away from this wording) is that a Jewish elite now controls this lever of power and has used it to its advantage, resulting in a massive overrepresentation of Jews in elite universities compared to their academic qualifications or intelligence, while discriminating against non-Jewish Whites and against Asians.”

Kevin MacDonald has (predictably) been vilified for his politically-incorrect research. Vilification is so much easier than rational-empirical refutation.

I will be interviewing Kevin MacDonald today, Tuesday, December 18th, 11 a.m. to noon Central (9-10 Pacific) on NoLiesRadio.org (then archived here a few hours after broadcast).
