The Unspoken Story behind the story is that a large portion of those who are labelled “Jews” in the USA are not really Jewish.
See for example http://jppi.org.il/new/en/article/english-exploring-the-jewish-spectrum-in-a-time-of-fluid-identity/english-table-of-contents/%D7%92%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%AA%D7%94-%D7%A9%D7%9C-%D7%94%D7%99%D7%94%D7%95%D7%93%D7%99%D7%95%D6%BC%D7%AA/#.Wx2bDu6FOUk
In addition there are many secular Jews in America who might still be halachicly Jewish but don’t feel any loyalty or identification with the Jewish people.
