I'm not trying to be racist ( I don't know how calling an ethnic group rich is offensive), but I've noticed that most Jews are rich. They are usually part of the upper class of society. So why is that?

I know that theya are actually very good in business. My father does business with them and he says that they are extremely good in business.

They are not. It's a stereo-typical characterization you have bought into.
Do some data mining at the Federal Governments web site, FirstGov.Gov and look at the median income by race, religion etc.
I'll bet you'll find Jews a bit higher than average, but certainly not 'all rich'.

It seems to you like most Jews are rich because you probably hear mostly about rich Jews, and not about middle-class and poor Jews. Most Jews are middle-class, like in the rest of the population, and there are a lot of low-income Jewish families who don't make any headlines.

I'm sure there are some rich Jews as well as some not so rich and some that are poor. Usually when people have money, it's because they or possibly their ancestors (if they inherited it) were ambitious and hard working.

the Jews beleive in education, hard work , and thrift. They earn every penny they make .
You'll find very few Jews living on welfare , is there a lesson to be learned there ?

you definately are not a racist, because being jewish is not a race. You are definately and anti-semetic person and generalizing and entire group of people as "rich" is naive and anti-semetic in this case.
If you took time to research your views a bit, you would find out that you are so wrong. If all jewish people are rich why is there a Jewish food bank that's sole purpose is to provide food for needy jewish people in the USA? The scholorship money given to jewish families to send their children to nursery and pre-school is probably more than any other group.
Whats your next anti-semetic question? Something about Irish, Italian, Catholic, or maybe Mexican people?

because after WWII jews would work hard to send their children to college to become doctors,lawyers and other feilds like that.
this is something our black brothers and sisters need to do!
p.s not all jews are rich just like not all blacks are on well fare!

I heard (but I don't know if it's true!) that they stole lots of things from Egyptian tombs. Also, throughout history, they were probably doing some profitable businesses.

Are you sure?
There are rich Jews and many poor Jews as well. That is only a generalisation.
