For 500 years, we have wrongly called this the letter of James

…that pinning “just about every” ism on Jews is actually the insult that might (or might not?) be intended. Look at this way: if readheads completely dominate innovation and invention for a few centuries, it will certainly be the case that “nearly every bad invention of the last 300 yrs came from a readhead.” This is because whoever invents more will have more failures than whoever doesn’t invent much. Likewise, to generalize that a people group has come up with all the isms is effectively saying that, as a group, they’ve done more thinking than everyone else.

(But we’ve wandered quite a stretch from the original topic. Maybe we should wrap up this discussion)
