i beg to differ. Why is it that Jewish people all look the same (big nose, curly black hair, and talk with a new york, phlegmy accent). I think its a race.

Jewish people belong to the Semitic race; being Jewish is ethno-cultural phenomena, because Jewish people converted to Christianity were still classified as Jews by the Nazis and other prosecutors and by the media. However, whatever being a Jew means, it is not a prerequisite for obtaining a licence(s) to make money. I hope it answers your question.

There are rich and poor people in every race and nationality and culture. Getting rich is not a matter of any of these things; it is a matter of how well one plays the financial situations of one's time and place, also a matter of inheritance.
This is a stereotype about Jews because during the middle ages Jews were not allowed to own land so they invested in liquid assets instead, and some did well. However, there are many who didn't take this route, and many who took this route and didnt' do so well. Generalizations are just that.
Your comments about how Jews "all look the same" betrays your ignorance. It is true that certain physical traits are common, as in any group of people who tend to marry within their group, this is known as "phenotype" and is the basis for what we commonly call "race". But you would do better to learn more about different kinds of human beings. Asking questions is a good start, but only if the questions are asked in an honest way, not in a way trying to prove your own ignorance and preconceptions.

First off Judaism is not a RACE, it is a Religion. Do a little research before you start asking these types of questions. Now There are wealthy in all races and religions. I know jews with money I know some without.
But remember it is a religion not a race.

I have a small nose, blue eyes, straight brown hair, and I speak with a southern ascent.
I guess your going to have to change your stereotype on who is a Jew.

In most cases, yes. Who do you think started A dollar .98 price, instead of 2 bucks.
The cheaper price was intended to fool people.......and it worked.
