"Anastasi Jews"? I think you meant Ashkenazi (European) Jews. Maybe conflated with Anasazi, a missing culture which was quite advanced, in what we now think of as Navajo territory.

No, with respect to your post, what amused me is that you call yourself "thedugal," which probably means that you're Celtic. So talking about Irish and Scots being smarter than other whites is rather self-serving.

It's just a little tacky to assert that your own ethic group is smarter than average. If you saw an Italian man arguing that Italians are smarter, or a Greek arguing that Greeks are smarter, maybe you'd see the humor.

Or maybe you don't see the humor in crowing that your own kind are the epitome of intelligence, especially based on group averages?

Yes, that's right. I have no idea where I got the word Anastasi from... very strange.
