<p>See the NY Times OpEd piece today about how Asians are the new Jews…back in the 20’s, there were quotas for the number of Jews at each Ivy, and if you were in the wrong high school class, and Jewish, you were out of luck and if you were from NYC you went to CUNY. That era also was the advent of the interview concept. It was believed that an interview could help screen out the “obviously Jewish” candidate based on appearances and perceived ethnic characteristics.</p>
