Editorializing about an editorial that is editorializing about another editorial. Meta.
Oh, another one comes out of the woodwork.....
How is it editorializing? The article reported the results of a survey that showed German Jews reported that most of the antisemitic threats and attacks were coming from Muslim immigrants. The reason this thread has gone on for 20 pages is because it is not PC tto blame Muslims for anything, so we have liberals coming out in defense of them - hence proving the very point of the article.
No, my idea is not reducing one side, but increasing the other.
So? We are trying to do that via affirmative action, which gives poorer minorities (blacks and Latinos) preference over more successful minorities (Asians and Jews).
....or by "increasing" one side, do you mean redistributing OPM? Then you are indeed reducing one side.

Affirmative action is obviously not implemented well. Maybe it simply kicks in too late in people's lives. There is no point in easing college admission when in reality it is kids' scholastic performance that needs to be improved, by addressing early on whatever the real problems are.

I don't know the details of affirmative actions, but sociologists surely do. I suppose those are questions that should be discussed completely outside party politics, else you end up with ideologically contaminated analyses and ideas.
You didn't answer one damn question I asked. You say it's "obvious" they could not have earned their success, but you can't explain it either. All you do is make empty accusations.
The Jews in this country came from Europe with nothing but the clothes on their back. They started businesses, they wrote jokes and became comedians. They started Hollywood. How did connections help them create industries that never existed before? Who's going to help them do THAT. LOL.
You don't have any answers for that, instead you make snide remarks, finger point, accuse. I get it. People who are not successful at life tend to attribute other people's successes to nefarious means. It's sad, really.
"They started Hollywood?"
In the early 1900s, filmmakers began moving to the Los Angeles area to get away from the strict rules imposed by Thomas Edison's Motion Picture Patents Company in New Jersey. Since most of the moviemaking patents were owned by Edison, independent filmmakers were often sued by Edison to stop their productions.
To escape his control, and because of the ideal weather conditions and varied terrain, moviemakers began to arrive in Los Angeles to make their films. If agents from Edison's company came out west to find and stop these filmmakers, adequate notice allowed for a quick escape to Mexico.

You write as if every American doesn't have vivid memory and strong feeling about what happened on 9/11. Really I just don't know how to put it any more simple. You just don't get it...

If you are a math teacher in high school, and you notice there are a few students trying hard but falling a little behind the kids doing better in class (like say the Jewish kids), would you consider it a "preference" for these kids to make a little extra effort to help them do better? Maybe catch up with the rest of the kids?
Why always these either/or choices that prevent a bit better balanced way of looking at things?

according to muslim, democrat, anti-Semite, politician omar, the September 11th muslim terrorist attack on America, that killed thousands of innocent americans, was just "some people did something"...…
so evidently, "every American doesn't have vivid memory and a strong feeling about what happened on 9/11".
