remembering that time I explained on Twitter that Jews are 0.2% of the world’s population and control like 1.2% of its wealth
while Christians are 30-something percent of the world’s population and control 55% of its wealth
so, like, there IS a minority of the world’s population controlling the majority of its wealth
and of course a bunch of utter walnuts were like “SEE??? this proves that Jews ARE disproportionately wealthy!!!”
we have $1.20 to Christians’ $55
but sure, individually we average out to having a bit more pocket change than the world’s average
a couple of things, though:
-those are AVERAGES—it doesn’t mean that every Jew you meet is wealthy, especially because…
-we are such a small population that the existence of *one Jewish billionaire* would skew the average, learn what an average is ffs, if there are 10 of us and 1 is a billionaire and the rest of us have $0 dollars, on average we each have $100,000,000 but in reality 9 of us still have $0 dollars
-y’all killed off a LOT of our poor people less than a century ago which also tends to skew the average
The minority group (in the sense of being less than half the population; they’re still the largest religion) controlling the majority of the world’s wealth is Christians. Sorry about your favorite conspiracy theory.
