What's Wrong with Jews?

Since the European Enlightenment, when Jews were given the rights of other citizens and eventually rose in society in finance, the professions and the arts, assimilation has been rampant. And that situation applies in America today. When Jews lived in ghettos in eastern Europe, with little chance to mingle with their Christian neighbors, there could obviously be little assimilation. And even without physical barriers, the invisible line of prejudice and discrimination between Jews and their neighbors kept them apart.
