According to a paper published by Utah geneticists,http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/03/science/03gene.html?pagewanted=2&incamp=article_popular_4, Ashkenazi diseases (Tay-Sachs et al) are related to intelligence and make you smart. I thought that children with Tay-Sachs generally die before their fifth birthday; how many chess world championships and nobel prizes could you win in that time?
Actually this does remind me of a kid I had french with through most of high school. Later I began to thing that he had a learning disability or Asperger's or something. I always wondered how a Jew could be so dumb. It is kind of surprising.
