So if an article casually threw in some disparaging remarks about Blacks, Asians, or Jews (or, as was the case here, implied the entire problem the article was talking about was disproportionately their fault), they'd be expect to let the accusations stand unchallenged, because they should only address more interesting parts of the article?


In what world is "these people disproportionately hold positions of power" disparaging? The degree of mental gymnastics must be exhausting.

If you continue by :" Note that all presidents abuse their power and the issue is more about the unearned powers presidents have than being Jewish or from the Ivy league" i would find it weird but Ok, wouldn't you?

Taking a piece from a single paragraph, ignoring not only the context, but also the following sentence because it weakens your argument, how would you call that? Do you think it's fair? Do you just like storytelling so much you also lie to yourself?

Please don't cross into personal swipes, regardless of how another commenter is or you feel they are. That only makes everything worse. Your comment would be fine without that bit.
