... So, a long way short of a plurality, but (hugely) "disproportionate" Ashkenazi cognitive slack isn't sensibly disputable.

I know Jews are overrepresented among the very smart (just not a tremendous gap). I'm not sure gays are overrepresented at all.

as of the early 90s, I believe Unitarians and maybe Episcopalians had higher SAT scores than Jews, btw
