Jean-Paul Sartre said this, in defense of Jews:

“There are too many Jewish lawyers, someone says.
But is there any complaint that there are too many Norman lawyers?”

EXPLANATION: The Normans were descendants of Vikings who came to France and lived in a place called The Duchy of Normandy. Their language was called Norman.
