Stereotypes don't just appear out of the blue... They are based on some fact, and I'm sure that Italians and Greeks have a lot of stereotypes, but Jews are known for being greedy and materialistic, off course not all of them are, but a big number is ( I am not) . Again I'm not talking about all Jews. People are different ... Sorry if I offended anyone...
1. American Jews are the highest earning ethic group, but that's because they are also the most educated..
2. American Jews are very philanthropic (in both Jewish and non-Jewish causes), and it's probably one of the few traditional Jewish values they practice..

Julia, check this article Einstein’s View of God..
Sveta, this link is not opening, but I read 3 or 4 books by Einstein - his letters, etc.... -quite familiar with the progression of his views and the interpretations ( which are numerous)

stereotypes can also be based on half truths and misinformation... Jews using the blood of Christian babies to make matzah is a perfect example.... of course there's no truth to it, but as you said, stereotypes don't appear out of the blue. for centuries, jews were barred fromalmost all professions and were relegated to money lending, tax collecting, and anything else no respectable Christian would take part in... hence the stereotype.
Jews were always prosecuted, but we are talking about here and now in the US where Jews have a tremendous influence on American culture and make more money then any other ethnic group...
just because they supposedly make more money than any other ethnic group, is there a study that shows that they are more materialistic or less philanthropic? again, you've presented no evidence to support your "facts".
