No, it’s racially still true though. Ashkenazi Jews specifically seem to be one of the more intelligent races overall, of the world, by IQ testing. You’re right, “upper class WASPs” are also high up there, and East Asians are also pretty high up, statistically that is.

There’s many other Jews like Sephardic Jews, Mizrahi Jews, Ethiopian Jews, etc. in Israel. Not only that, but about 20% of the population of Israel is made up of Arabs. I bring that up because I’ve seen others dishonestly bring up that statistic, without noting (or knowing) about 20% of the Israeli population is Arabs, out of upset anger that IQ testing does actually have Ashkenazi Jews having a relatively higher average IQ.
Things that this post should not be taken to mean:
>that I’m Jewish
>that I’m saying we should therefore praise and worship Jews
>that they’re just intrinsically superior in all respects
No, I’m just bringing up the facts. It’s profoundly dishonest to only like stuff like “racial realism” or be bringing up racial IQ differences but to dislike and argue against that they also give some laurels to groups like East Asians and Ashkenazi Jews.
Funnily and counterintuitively enough, I think it’s ethnic Germans and Ashkenazi Jews who are probably (on average/overall) some of the smartest people in the world, if not potentially the two smartest groups. If I remember right, the interesting thing about East Asians having this higher average IQ, is that parts of it actually match up with the stereotypes - it’s quantitative reasoning that they particularly do well at. (In your high school, you know how many East Asians were some of the highest-ranking in the math classes, taking all the honors or AP ones. Also, look up any random big/well-ranked enough university, and if you can find the pages for their faculties online, look through the math and computer science departments, and the number of East Asians as professors will be ridiculous. If you didn’t go to university for math or CS yourself and realized how overpowered East Asians seem to be lol.)
But anyway, with the Germans, you have the famed German engineering, the rocket science fundamental to modern developments in rocketry and space travel, despite the controversial origins of some of their greatest advancements to say the least, and they’re also the sole unique nation/culture to be the most significant and outsizedly influential in philosophy since Ancient Greece. Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, Fichte, Schelling, Schopenhauer etc., the German idealists in general, up to Nietzsche and Heidegger.
But, no matter how controversial it may be for you, I also admit that it seems Ashkenazi Jews also have some of this outsized brilliance and influence throughout Western history, in some fields like the arts and sciences and literature, and it’s not ALL just nepotism or some ethnic scheme. It just is what it is.
