*The Jewish princess:
Rich, spoiled and arrogant. The JAP (Jewish American Princess) gets everything she wants just by pointing at it. She is beautiful, fashionable and lives in a world of her own but has good intentions.
Prototype: Alicia Silverstone in "clueless"; Fran Drescher in "the nanny"

*The Yiddisher Mamme (Jewish mother):
Warm and maternal, preferably fat, way overly uptight, protective and anxious. The Yiddisher Mamme is the inventor of complains, argumentativeness and guilt feelings. Pumps her children with food, warm clothes and potential spouses. She will brag about her children to her Yente neighbors ("my son, who is a doctor…"), but will make the hell out of you in family dinners ("why did you quite your studies? why aren't you married?").
Prototype: Sheila Broflovski ("southpark"); Doris Roberts in "everybody loves Raymond" (Jewish in real life, not in the show)

*The Yente:
The older version of the Yiddisher Mamme: old, blabbermouth, gossipmonger hag. She stops you at the supermarket, or comes over to your parents and talks and talks to your death. She knows everything about everyone.
Prototype: the matchmaker from "fiddler on the roof"

Whiny, controlling, nagging, lazy, materialistic, dishonest, very intelligent but morally bankrupt. No wonder more and more Jewish men and marrying non Jewish women.

Depends on who you ask.
There is the Jewish American Princess myth.
I choose not to list the stereotypes in detail.

Although that's a legitimate question, I think it would be a violation to list them.
