bardzo ciekawe wyjasnienie:
In the U.S., Polish Jews arriving before 1910 were also perceived as stupid
(for no other reason than they were accustomed to a different culture and
spoke another language). So many "Pollock" jokes arose that Americans still
tell them to this day, even if no one remembers why. The Polish Jews suffered
heavy job discrimination and suspicion of criminality; not surprisingly, their
children suffered low grades and IQ test scores. Today, of course, many
Americans hold the opposite prejudice; Jews are viewed as the most brilliant
of ethnic groups.
Russian-born Jews who became American soldiers in World War I also scored low
on IQ tests. So low, in fact, that Carl Brigham, the creator of the Scholastic
Aptitude Test, declared that the results "disprove the popular belief that the
Jew is highly intelligent."
