Are Jews considered minorities? My Jewish friend said it helped him..?

<p>“Our peoples control a monstrously unequal share of the wealth in America. All 2% of us averaged the second highest gross income of all religious groups in the country. Yes, please recognize my hardships and act affirmatively in my favor :)”</p>

<p>The short answer is no. But some HJS (historically Jewish schools) such as Hebrew University and the American Jewish University will favor those of their own religion.</p>
