Statistically on SATS/AIMS would Whites Still Have High Scores without Jews???

Question

I hear so many people claiming Jews as being non-white (I know that Jews can be of any race since it is a religion, but you have to remember that it is a culture as well, and most people of that culture resemble caucasians, whites) even though on the SATS/AIMS majority of them check themselves off as white on those tests. Since Americans seem to love to do things by statistics I would just like to know your opinion. Do you honestly believe that without Jews that Caucasians can still do well on those national tests? Jews are known to be good students dare I say even much more so than their Christian counterparts. This isn't supposed to be a racist question it is supposed to be a thought provoking question. Please no racist statements/crude comments. We are adults so let us converse as adults, thank you!

Answer 1

I would think by your insinuations that non Jewish folks will hate 'you' more than ever. PS, I am a practising jew. and so was Sammy Davis Jr.

Answer 2

Actually, Jewish is a race and a religion...

Answer 3

Judaism is a religion.  Jewish is the term given to those who are the followers of Judaism.  Some of you need to study a little harder.

I don't see any reason why the scores would go down unless you can prove that Jews play significantly less video games than white Americans.  

I have not seen any indication that Jews have any natural intelligence advantage or disadvantage over American or European Caucasians.  A majority of Americans trace their heritage back to European bloodlines.  If a higher level of intelligence is a trait linked to a specific group of people or race then it would stand to reason that trait would travel with said group or race to America.  Perhaps the trait has been diluted through breeding practices.  Or, perhaps, just being an American makes one less intelligent.

Answer 4

SAT scores closely follow IQ scores, but the Jews you are referring to are most likely the Askenazi (basically German/East European Jews). Actually if one wanted to break SAT scores down by religion or lack of same, Mormons & atheists are about tied. Chuckle, one would have to be very careful about who the tests were given though.
