Well, there's all sorts of reasons

原因有很多
and this is going to come out in the context of social psychology

我们讲社会心理学

people who are plainly Jewish are prominent

纯犹太人在惹人注目的岗位上
in positions where people notice them, like entertainment or,

表现突出比如娱乐界
in the case of you guys, academia.

或者像你们一样在学术界

犹太人真实的人口比率

最后一个例子确认偏误
