what is the definition of a jewish american princess?

Answer 1

Jewish American Princess or JAP (not to be confused with the ethnic slur directed towards people of Japanese nationality) originally refers to Jewish women with privileged backgrounds in the United States. It can be taken and meant as an ethno-religious and/or sexist stereotype or slur.

The word characterizes a stereotype about young women who have been spoiled by material wealth and overbearing parenting to the point that they are self-absorbed, pampered, high-maintenance, whiny, materialistic, and snobby. Since the slur reflects a phenomenon that is not limited to Jewish families, it has also been extended to other ethnic groups. In the American Northeast, it is frequently used as a religiously neutral term to describe any affluent, free-spending suburban woman.

As with all stereotypes, this one is often the basis for a variety of jokes and contrived but humorous scenarios. Its factual basis seems to stem from the rapid rise to affluence of Jewish families that started out in tenements of New York City, moved to residential, urban neighborhoods in the city, and then to suburbs on Long Island, northern New Jersey, Philadelphia and elsewhere in the United States. The notion is that many who are raised in the affluent environments have lost any sense of continuity with their hardworking parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. To a lesser extent, the term has been co-opted by some Jewish women as a term of affection or identity.
