“what is occupation,” if I understand your point, it is that Jews escaped the “minority status” box before it was officially established. Which I don’t see invalidates my point, which is that people are capable of bettering their position without government intervention.

Likewise, Asian-Americans similarly screwed themselves by relying upon their own resources to rise, instead of waiting for Officially Designated Victim status. If they had simply been patient and trusted the benevolent government, and its allies in the affiliated caring fields, they’d not be in the uncomfortable bow they’re now in, where they’re expected to do better than whites academically and penalized if they don’t.

No, they could be in the enviable position that inner city Blacks are in now. So they, and the Jews, can reflect upon their foolishness in trying to succeed on their own. Although given the Jews’ traditional emphasis on education and achievement, I’d say the deck was stacked against them all along – when Victim Cards were being handed out, it probably would have been by Jewish lawyers.
