Are Jews still considered a minority in the US?

Answer 1

Jews make up no more than 2 percent of the US population, so in a numerical sense, they are certainly a minority, and a small enough minority that many decisions are made without any consideration of the impact of those decisions on Jews.

Some people conflate the concepts of minority status with underprivileged or oppressed minorities.

For most of the past 1000 years, Jews were undoubtedly oppressed. An estimated 1/4 of the European Jewish population was murdered during the Crusades, Jews were expelled from country after couontry during this period, and many Jewish towns suffered routine bouts of murder in the years since. The Holocaust is only the most recent example, more industrialized than prior examples, but fully in their spirit. Scattered people in the US, carrying knives and guns, demonstrate by their actions that they are intent on perpetuating this tradition.

Note that a different 2 percent of the US population makes over $190,000 a year. Rich people are a privileged minority. On the average, Jewish household income is above the national average, so on the average, Jews are an economically comfortable minority, but the 30 percent of Jews with household incomes below $50,000 a year are as economically stressed as anyone else in that income bracket.
