Where do Korean-Americans fit in in a Postmodern America 3

There are a few distinct differences between Jews and East-Asians. Jews, in general, are more liberal than East-Asians. Jews supported the civil rights movement, and often try to help out other minorities although their main concern is themselves. Jews have been historically marginalized in Europe. In America, although they have faced some discrimation, they have, in general, thrived. Jews vehemently fought against the race quotas in universities when WASPS were the dominant power. These quotas no longer exist and new quotas have been created. Bob Dylan, a Jewish folk/ rock n roll star, was the proclaimed leader of the countercultural movement.

Jews are a very diversified and complex race. There was a time when Jews were called the "People of the Book (Old Testament)" and the people who are nearer to God than any other race, but now, many of them are secular. Despite the secularism of many Jews, there is still a struggle to understand God in their culture. In some senses, the image of Jacob wrestling with the God comes up when I think of the Jews. They are a people who often struggle with the idea of a all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowing God in the historical face of the Holocaust.

The Jewish Genius has had great support from the community. Freud, Einstein, Rilke could not have survived without this great support from the community. But it is not just the support from the community that sustains the Jewish Genius. The Jewish Genius is able to completely think out a new idea and bring it into reality. There is a monolithic drive for the truth that overrides all others drives in the human psyche. Of course, Freud was not quite scientific in his psychology, but it still makes sense. The Oedipus complex is necessary to effect individuality... for the son to create a distinct personality from his father by resolving a primitive sexual/family conflict.

I read an article about the reasons for Jewish uniqueness online. In the article, it mentioned that, historically, inferior Jews have been exterminated so that only the best and brighest Jews are now left. I don't agree with this argument (The guy who wrote the Bell Curve), but a fact really make you think about the Jews:

1. Out of the 27 kids in New York with IQ's above 170, 20 of them were Jewish (Not exact).

My main point here is that Jews are a very unique people. They cannot be replaced with any other people.

So how are Korean-Americans the New Jews? And if Korean-Americans are the New Jews, do Jews now climb up the racial pecking order and become fully acculturated into American society and become simply Americans, no longer hypenated?

Do Jews become fully acculturated into American culture? I HIGHLY DOUBT IT.

The political landscape has so changed that now, there are German-Americans and even English-Americans. Even once fully acculturated Europeans are now hypenated Americans.

So what does happen?

A New tension is created between Jews and East-Asians as they compete for status and power.
