Lets try this in a different context - is this truthful change still acceptable?

Seems to me you're all irked by facts? Sure, plenty of Jewish people aren't prospering. Irrelevant. A disproportionate amount of them are succeeding in the "algorithmic economy." I don't see why this is so taboo to point out.

If race or gender doesn't matter, why do 25% of Harvard places go to Jews? [1] I personally doubt 25% of people in the "algorithmic economy" are Jewish. But I'd love to be corrected about this.

You know, I honestly don't see it. From what I understand, you're implying that this is something that we can't/shouldn't talk about either?
western Jews fall on the same statistics used by the article as it could fit well as a subset of "White men".
