White Males
Consider mathematics, the basis of physics and therefore of chemistry, electronics, and, most importantly in the US, video games. The Greeks invented geometry: real, serious, theoretically aware math. They didn't discover hyperbolic or ellipitc geometry, which would have to await Lobachevsky and Riemann, but they smelled problems with Euclid's Fifth.
Males, sort of Greek-Arab-Indian, invented algebra, a monumental achievement but pretty much their last, and Indian males apparently came up with 0, neither obvious nor trivial (try long division in Roman numerals).
After that, it was a WEM racket. Newton and Leibniz more or less simultaneously invented calculus, with different notations but the same idea. Afterwards dozens of scintillating WEMs followed, only a few of them well-known: Galois (group theory), Gauss (practically everything), Fermat (of the famous and mysterious theorem), Laplace, Lagrange, Hamikton, Cantor, Boole, on and on. Without them, there would be no cell phones to cause death on the highways.
Pick your field: Engineering, aerodynamics, abstruse theory for computers (von Neumann, Minsky), even wacko stuff (Rupert Sheldrake). The atomic bomb and nuclear power were all invented by WEMs, largely Jewish. (The staff list at Los Alamos read like a Yeshiva yearbook.)

Я так понимаю, что автор последний раз видел engineering department где-то в 1978 году
Когда делали атомную бомбу, никому бы в голову не пришло объединять евреев и WASP в одну этническую группу.
