Excerpt from "TEN THINGS YOU CAN'T SAY IN AMERICA" by JOHN DERBYSHIRE
(National
Review)
"It's anti-Semitic to point out that Jews are smarter than Gentiles.
Gimme a
break. Who doesn't know that Jews are smarter than Gentiles? Newsweek
(8/21/00)
gives the Jewish population of the U.S. at two percent. Does anybody
think that
the number of Jewish lawyers, college professors, successful
businessmen,
mathematicians, is two percent? Anybody? How can it be offensive to
say
something so dazzlingly obvious? If I were Jewish, I'd be flattered to
hear
this. For the record, I consider myself a philosemite. It has been
truly said
(by Paul Johnson in his History of the Jews) that if you take almost
anything
- science, law, philosophy, literature, medicine, music - and track it
back
to its roots, you will find Jews there, or at least meet an awful lot
of them
along the way. I am a big fan of Western Civilization: and I know -
again,
who doesn't know? - that the debt we Gentiles owe to the Jews is
colossal,
and can never be repaid. No doubt I shall now get letters explaining
to me that
this opinion, too, is "anti-Semitic". Another thing you learn writing
for the
public is that anything whatsoever that you say about Jews or
Jewishness is
"anti-Semitic" to somebody out there."
While the above views may be guilty of a politically incorrect kind of
chauvinism, there is simply no way to deny it - Jews are the smartest
and most successful peoples on the planet. Jews are so few in number
(1/4 of 1% of the world's population), yet so great in ability
(disproportionate success in every field of human endeavor). Read it
and weep:
