Even if not quite true, it doesn't change my argument since it was more about the rate of change.

You can construct the definition of white collar in a way that makes it seem like it's mostly white people, but among high paying job titles within a company, absolutely I would say there are fewer than 50% non-Jewish whites.

This is one of the main points of bigotry. The facts don't matter. So when a person says something obviously ridiculous like

the proper way to interpret is "I feel like there are too many unworthy people working there," where "too many" is entirely subjective and could be as few as one.
