Why is it that all Jewish people seem to be really wealthy. My dad said they have loads of links to the mafia

Question

is it true?

Answer 1

Actually, the Jewish people tend to revere intelligence and hard work so its natural that the majority of them are well off.

I know many Jewish people and I can tell you they also are not dumb when it comes to money which may very well be a genetic predilection or just a result of their smarts.

Jews tend also to not marry those who are not Jewish which allows for keeping property and assets within the Jewish community.

Answer 2

No, it is not true and it has been said that Italians are all in the mafia. The Mexican mafia and then there is the really bad guys the Russian mafia.
I think some men work hard, invest wisely and make money.
some men are in mafia's and are very corrupt.
Stop sterotypeing people. If someone has more than you it can't be because he works harder and invests wisely and makes money?
Oh and yes all black people hold up banks and all mexicans sell drugs. Most Jews are hard working people.
I supose some are corrupt. But that's true of every race.

Answer 3

Obviously not, not every single Jewish person has links to the mafia and not every single Jewish person is rich (but I know sometimes it seems like they are lol) anyway Jew's are known to be cheap hence that's how they become loaded but same goes for us East Indians here in Van city we are loaded and people think it's cause we're cheap ha ha ha but anyway Jewish people are hella smart though but obviously not all because I went to school with a Jewish girl who was the dumbest thing ever it was so horrid.

Answer 4

Thats not nessecarily true. Maybe for some families, but ost of them are very smart. Jewish kids are taught Hebrew at a young age, and learning a language is one of the best things for the brain. Also, if you go to school nowadays (like me) you'd notice that the Jewish kids tend to be the top in class, usually straight-A's and care a lot about their eduacation. So they get into good colleges and get good jobs, and thats why they are so often wealthy.

Answer 5

No. Hate to say this, but dad sounds like a bigot, moron, or both.

The Jewish culture is very adamant about saving money and becoming educated and working hard in business. Jewish mothers don't encourage their kids to be cowboys or firemen or factory workers, they encourage them to be doctors, lawters, investment bankers, or other high=paying jobs - even as retailers, they are encouraged to own their own businesses, not work for chump change.

Very few Jewish people have any ties to the Mafia, which is Italian organized crime and mostly Catholics - not exactly Jewish friendly.

Answer 6

You don't have to believe everything your dad says. What your dad said is stereotyping.

Any race can have links to the mafia - Chinese, Italian, Irish, Polish, Jewish, it goes on and on. Having links to the mafia doesn't make you wealthy. It makes you owned.

Answer 7

Ha ha ha. Yeah, sure. All the jews are wealthy. Right. Granted, nepotism must be a Yiddish word, but come on. All wealthy? Get out of the house once in a while and see how jewish people live.

Answer 8

No. Jewish people, fortunately for them, have a tradition of very supportive older generations, particularly for those youngsters who apply themselves. Their culture has always stressed educational achievement and discipline.

I think if you were to apply yourself in ways similar to Jewish youth, you, too would become successful -- perhaps wealthy, but certainly successful.

Answer 9

Amusing... I got what little wealth I have thru hard work over the last 30 years.

Newspaper routes, Macy's, Lifeguarding, 15 years in the US Navy, Communitations Engineering...

Answer 10

no of course not, wouldnt it be strange if a whole country full of people have connections to the mafia? and for goodness sakes- just go read a book about the history of them
