> Even if not quite true, it doesn't change my argument

This is one of the main points of bigotry. The facts don't matter. So when a person says something obviously ridiculous like

> among high paying job titles within a company, absolutely I would say there are fewer than 50% non-Jewish whites

the proper way to interpret is "I feel like there are too many unworthy people working there," where "too many" is entirely subjective and could be as few as one.

Not at all. That was not my implication even slightly. I'm non-white btw.

Honestly didn't mean to say you were being a bigot there. But I would strongly suggest you spend some time in Google/census data/etc. to recalibrate your feelings. The TL;DR; is most high-paid corporate jobs in the US are held by a single demographic. Said demographic is a distinct minority of college graduates in the US.

One's information environment can mislead, but perhaps the process of finding information sources you consider objective, then studying them, will lead you to reevaluate the information diet that is creating a false picture of reality.
