>>7286920Jews and Holocaust studies are MASSIVELY overrepresented no matter where you go.
Remember, it's about what gets funded. A department will add another Holocaust studies (yes, that's a thing) or Jewish studies chair if they either get funding specific to it or there are funding opportunities available via having academics who publish in that field and it's a hot field.
Jews have fuckloads of money (inb4 /pol/), are overrepresented though not quite uniquely in terms of this kind of patronage, and are incredibly chauvinistic and utterly fucking obsessed, even in a Freudian sexual way, with their goddamn Shoah, so 99.99% of what they promote is Jewish or Holocaust studies. This means more conferences, more demand, more grants, more funding, more grad students, etc., all studying how many Jew shoelaces the Nazis had in Treblinka or whatever the fuck.
Go read the acknowledgments at the beginning of any monograph for this shit and it'll say "my thanks to Rita Goldstein and Marty Goldberg, and to the Israel Foundation for Hope, for the grants necessary to pursue this project." Dude just went where the money was.
