Because they are very good at making money and people don't like that. They save what they have also, that is probably what a person sees as cheap because most people piss it away.

Jewish people in general are more intelligent than others, as the stupid ones among them were killed off through the ages of abuse by the majorities in various countries including Christian countries.
Many of the Jewish folks were denied equal rights in almost all societies they lived in. They had to eek out a living under severe conditions, which taught them to be frugal with their limited resources. The ghettos of Warsaw were proof of the abuse of the Jewish people in Europe among many ghettos all over.
With changing times, as the Jewish people are getting more freedoms, this situation is subsiding. In any case, the Jewish religion requires that one does not spend money unjustly. I remember one of my Jewish employers used to wear only one shoes day in and day out for almost three months, that I worked there, until I was laid off.
My Muslim father wears only one shoes also, so, I used to admire the Jewish man as I understood the underlying principles of not taking more than your right.
I hope this makes sense.

Just because some people don't squander their money foolishly, some people brand them as cheap. Hey, that's fine, because the name callers are the one who are always in need of money, not the "cheap" Jewish people.

yeah, it's bull**it. It's ignorant. and I'm not Jewish. But, don't feel bad. Everybody has some ignorant ethnic "joke". Only the ignorant start things like that. Believe me, that's mild compared to some of the trash out there.

Maybe people take "cheap shots" at them...they are very frugal people as a whole.... they do not waste their money.. if you go in their homes, they are usually minimally furnished. Because they do not waste their money, and use it for education instead, they are usually successful in a postive environment. This makes others jealous of them, and prone to make negative statements. Be glad they are this way..... many of your doctors, scientists, health care workers, dentists, lawyers, businessmen who give jobs to others, fall this category. Be glad their money is well spent.
ps.. artists and musicians too..

You haven't lived among them to see that I guess. There are pockets of nicer Jews, but a good number of the ones I have met are of that classification.

Could it possibly be that they save their money and only buy when it is a real good deal.
