Old info but still massively superior to cherry-picked meme graphics.
Overall elite:
Wasps 43%
Other Protestants 19.5%
Irish Catholics 8.5%
Other Catholics 8.7%
Jews 11.3%
Minorities 3.9%
So we see that Jews are outnumbered by Catholics among American elites and are not massively higher than Irish-Americans alone - a traditionally fairly working class group.
There is more that I'll add but the source for it and what I'll add later is an article in the American Sociological Review from 1982 entitled "Ethnicity in the American Elite".

There are definitely some disproportions there. I would think that more than 17% of America is Catholic (or at least used to be) and fewer than 11% are Jewish.
Of course we also have to consider what an "elite" is. Not all elites have similar levels of influence. Tom Monaghan would perhaps be an example of an Irish Catholic "elite", but in practice he has very little influence over American culture or law.

Yeah, Jews are overrepresented. Catholics are somewhat underrepresented. Not too surprising given that a lot of them are Slavs and such.
But this keye in on the bankruptcy of the 'overrepree ntation' narrative anti-Semites spam everyone with. When you're 2-3% of the population and 11-12% of elites you're overrepresented but still outnumbered by Catholics.
And yeah, some elites are more equal than others. Some of the categories in this article - which I will get to - include media, civil servants, labor, and business. As a sneak preview Jews outnumber Catholics in media almost 2-1.

Which means -- in theory -- that taking back control of our countries would be easy... if white people would stop being stupid.
