I'm not at all interested to learn how you view the rest of the world, if this one tiny example is any kind of indication.

moskiter may not have put it the best way. But to ban for saying this? Ridiculous.

But at least they have the highest household income.

"At the top of the income scale stand Reform Jews, 67 percent of whose households make more than $75,000 a year."

You need to step away from the computer, and do some real research, if you think that "Reform Jews" = "Jews."

Yes, Jews are rich. And asians are good at math. I'm lucky enough to be half Jewish and half Japanese - therefore I'm rich and good at math. My husband is from the south. He's a redneck.

From what I've observed, Jewish merchants help each other in business...and yes, Chinese and Japanese are good in math.

My hubby is from Tennessee, a sweet redneck to the T.

Adjust it for location (most Jews live in high cost-of-living areas on the coasts) and education level, and Jewish incomes are identical to everyone elses. The study was pretty weak due to lack of normalization for those variables.

Its no secret that Jews are highly educated and live disproportionately in certain areas.

I used to deliver the newspaper in an apartment building that was 95% Jewish pensioners. So I am led to ask, why are Jewish people usually poor?

See what I did there?
