I think you will agree that Askenazi Jews are on average more successful in the modern world than rednecks.
As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, they are reproducing at an even lower rate than other successful Americans, besides interbreeding at a very high rate, with the children seldom identifying as Jews. In a few generations there will be very few American Jews, if present trends continue.
In the modern world, financial success is actually an evolutionary disadvantage. Strange but true.

I absolutely agree. (Though I’m disappointed that being a redneck doesn’t give me an evolutionary advantage)
I think calling someone who makes a lot of money but makes few babies successful is a poor use of the word successful. I’d call him a biological failure.
In East St. Louis, maybe 10 years ago, there was a drug dealer who would give drugs to the young girls in exchange for sex. He died of AIDS in his late 20’s but not before fathering 20-30 kids. In biology class that would be called successful.
