That's about 80% of the Jewish population in the world.
In the US, jewish people occupy a privileged socio-economic position in regard to the population as a whole, and in regard to other religious groups.
That's a *fact*, not a protocol of Zion. It's my guess that *fact* is the reason for the extra privilege points.
Obviously not every Jew is privileged, just as not every Asian is privileged, nor every woman or black person is underprivileged; but apparently the test is run on *averages*.
You want to say the test is stupid -- go right ahead, I think so too.
But it's fairly clear why they awarded privilege points to Jews, being as 80% of them live in two very rich countries where they occupy a space of privilege -- socioeconomically in the US, and religiously in Israel (v. minorities in israel).
And that's all I have to say on that.
