It's a serious question. I'm watching a documentary on Nazi Germany. I couldn't imagine the fear one would have felt.

What's it like being Jewish today?

I think it's funny that most of America stereotypes Asians as being good at math. In Texas, it's Indians who are good at math.

Indians are good at math and physics. White frat guys are good at business and geology.

no sh*t. :( I was BORN N' RAISED in the U.S., but I got a 710 on Math, and like a 550 in Verbal :( :( :( killed my overall. and i don't get it, i speak as good (edit: well.. duh!) as anglo americans, and I am a MUCH better speller. hey, thats another thing we indians are good at: spelling. but, i guess when it comes to writing we suck? or maybe its just me?

edit: sorry, that dude is so right (thread jack). What's it like being Jewish? I dunno, rich, cheap, all at the same time maybe?

It's because you are more left brained I think. You need right brain to write.

You are smarter than all the goys. You aren't in debt. You have superior taste in food. Its a pretty good feeling.

actually, the plural of goy (gentiles, non-jews) is goyim, not goys.

it's fun. you get all of the privileges of looking white, but you're actually a minority, so you've got the ethnic thing going, too. plus you're smart, funny, and rich. it's a sweet gig ;)

Man the SAT verbal is so easy. Just take like 30 tests and really GO OVER the answers and you find that the questions are extremely easy. Just takes a bit of work. I find it has almost nothing to do with ability at high levels but moreso work put into it.

Except most Jews can eat bacon cheese burgers with coke. Afaik, only Orthodox Jews follow the kosher rule any more.
