- Quizbowl is disproportionately Jewish compared to the overall US population. Back when this wiki had about 50 people, it was kind of fun to recognize who was a fellow tribesperson. I used the category, and most other people who used it were also Jews. With 1000 people, that fun is gone, and with the internet containing as much antisemitism as it does, it would be easy for people new to this site to misinterpret why this category exists.
