A few years back, there was someone who used to post videos of a British troupe of student actors who did diversity skits. Some were quite on point, but when it came to race, they always singled out Jews. In one video, they even had a "pyramid of privilege" with certain groups at various stages. And the capstone? White people? NOPE! JEWS! That's right, the "most" privileged people in the UK are Jews! There was also a "test" here a few years back, as well, that was posted in the Lounge to determine privilege. Privilege was determined by adding or subtracting points based on personal characteristics. If you were white, "+25", if Black, "-100" and so on. When it came to religion, do you think Christianity was the "most privileged"? NOPE! JEWS! If you were Jewish you scored a "+25" and if Chrisitan, it was "+5". While this was not a sanctioned study, it was what one expects when it comes to conversations about privilege and Jews.
