RY: if I’d say chances are a Jew is the best lawyer (at least in the US, it’s hard to compare different countries with differing legal systems etc.) would you also disagree? So now we’re entering “racist” territory… But truly, if you can believe Jews are smart, are “groomed” for analytical thinking, and are overly represented in the legal field, others may believe the same to be true about singing.
But since unlike lawyers, singing doesn’t require a college degree, it’s impossible to know the percentage of professional Jewish singers based on population size versus in the general population. Or to judge how many singers there are who are worthy of the title singer — especially whether to include professional shower singers…
Now that I bothered typing this up before getting a response to my initial question, you’ll probably reply that a Jew isn’t the best lawyer statistically speaking. Oy vey..,
