Here I'm going to use a term from Amy Chua.

Do you know Amy Chua?

Okay, I thought that she might have been on your show.

Amy Chua is actually the mentor of JD Vance.

She was his professor of law at Yale.

She's written several popular books, including the book on how to raise children as a tiger mom.

You know, this kind of tough parental Asian excellence and so on.

So Amy Chua introduced the term, I mean, the concept is not hers, but the term is hers, market dominant minorities, meaning when you have a small minuscule group of people in any cultural ecosystem that are boxing well above their weight class.

Now, in many cases, for example, you have Lebanese, non-Jews, Lebanese, who are the business owners all over West Africa.

So they are fitting that market dominant minority.

They're a small minority, but they carry all the business.

So it's not as though it's only the Jew that's the only market dominant minority.

Wherever you have market dominant minorities, you have animus towards that group.

Because the greater group, many of whom are not being successful,

look at that group with animus, with envy.

The Jews, wherever they are, are always, by definition, short of Israel, are always a minuscule group that is always boxing well above their weight.
