They must have been a terribly oppressed community to be able to come up with the resources to start their own medical school!
"Gentlemen's Agreements" prevented Jew from buying houses in many areas.
Yes, Jews were not allowed to buy into some posh neighborhoods, like 5th Ave on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. This horribly oppresive discrimination led to...Jews building their own posh neighborhoods like Central Park West on the Upper West Side and Park Slope in Queens. Such a tragedy!
Look, it's undeniable that Jews suffered some descrimination in the early 20th century America. It was unjust and should be condemned. Nevertheless, as community they did pretty well long before these injustices were corrected. My only point is don't fall for the left's tactic of exaggerating the past evils of America. They were real, but kept in perspective, they prove little else than pre-1960's America was not perfect, but still a pretty darn good place to live.
Talk about "survival of the fittest" :-)
