[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go back to the Holocaust. Even in the concentration camps, Jews were still educating themselves and others.

Jews (I am one) know education is key to success, and that you never stop learning. Jews also tend to be rather pragmatic about career choices, encouraging their children to enter fields that have a future.[/quote]

Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. If you're stereotyping Jews -- which you are -- then you are part of the problem.[/quote]

But, see, stereotypes are based in truth.  And there is some truth to what PP wrote.  There is nothing wrong with making statements that are, by and large, true.

Not every Jew fits the stereotype, of course.  But learning is deeply rooted in the Jewish culture and PPs are suggesting that that translates to high expectations, love of learning, and academic success.

Stereotypes are based in truth? All stereotypes? And they are by and large true?

How about that.

Have you seen these 31 prejudice maps?

(They start with US stereotypes of the rest of the world, but if you keep going, there are lots of other countries' stereotypes too.)[/quote]
