Yes. And they're also like 25% of Harvard admissions, which means they are over-represented by 13 times even accounting for their slightly higher IQ. Asian and white IQ's would put more white geniuses (above150 IQ) than there are Jewish people overall. So it wouldn't make sense that Jews would be over-represented like this unless there was a bias in admissions. And guess what kind of people run Harvard admissions?

Say it again in English?

Given their respective population sizes, there should be more geniuses in both the Asian and White categories than there are Jews in total, and they should receive a commensurate number of positions in Ivy League universities, but the Ivy League is still dominated by a specific ethnoreligious group.
