[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it has only been two generations of relative academic and financial success. Before 1940, many Jews were actually stereotyped as being poor, uneducated, and more likely to be involved in crimes like graft, organized crime, and prostitution. Just goes to show that opportunities can make a difference. [/quote] I've in "Outliers" Gladwell was saying that Jews that immigrated to American were skilled in trades and didn't work as day labourers, construction workers, etc. like Irish or Italians. Jews started their businesses. Gladwell said a typical Jewish family would look like this: 1st generation - started a garment business and work very hard; 2nd generations - worked in father's business; 3rd generation mostly became doctors and lawyers. Because that's what was encouraged.[/quote]
