And I hate to say it, but there seems to be a HIGHLY disproportionate percentage of Jewish people - or at least people with Jewish sounding names - on that list. Just an observation, not intended to be antisemitic in any way. Of course, I would imagine that if they are Jewish, they're probably JINOS - Jews in name only.

I was thinking the same exact thing. I didn't know quite how to express it.

You did a wonderful job.

Thanks.

I think that there may be more young Jewish men in journalism, for much the same reason there are more young Jewish men in drama on TV and in MOVIES.

They seem to be good at it.

"They seem to be good at it. "

That's probably true. The American Jewish community, and the broader Jewish Diaspora has a rich history of placing a cultural premium on education, very much like the Asian immigrants to the US in the last half of the 20th Century.

If you go to any engineering, medical or law school today, you might notice a great percentage of Asian students, so much so Asians have felt a bit of quiet discrimination with college admittance - some colleges don't want to be seen as too Asian, allegedly. It's creating a bit of resentment amongst Asians, who want to (rightfully) be judged on their merit, and not their race.

In any event, while I'm sure there are other intellectually valid reasons why there are "so many Jews in journalism", the percentage on that list still made me say, "What". I'm sure we both would have said the same thing if the list was comprised of a large percentage of easily recognizable Irish names, or Italian names.
