Russell on race

.
Bertrand Russell told a story in one of his books about a man, who, when he saw a Jew engaging in a bit of sharp business practice would say, “How like a Jew.” On the other hand when he saw a gentile engaging in a bit of sharp business practice he would say, “The funny thing is that he is not a Jew.” Russell observed that this was not a good way to obtain statistical averages.
