Why Jews think they are superior(Yongfei Gu)

"Jews think they're superior."a black man said.

But why Jews think they are superior?
According some materials, they show that, there are 5,600,000 Jews, the proportion of the population of the United States accounted for only 1.9 percent, but in the top 400 rich men in the United States, there are one hundred Jews.The American Jews,their average household income is higher than the average US level of 40%. Jews in the United States are engaged in most of the doctors, lawyers, businessmen, teachers and other industries. For example,the famous inventor Einstein, he is a Jew.

Jew think they are superior, and so they are. Definitely, it is inseparably linked to their education. I've heard a story before, which is very typical Jewish story between mother and children.
"If one day, your house burned down, you are looted, and what kind of thing you'll bring with yourself when you ran away?" Asked the mother.
"Money," one child answered.
"Diamond," another child said.
"There is one thing which is shapeless, colorless and invisible, do you know what is it?" Asked the mother.
The children couldn't find the answer.
The mother smiled and told them,"The only thing you should take with yourselves isn't money or diamond, that is your wisdom. Nobody can take away your wisdom, as long as you are alive, your wisdom will be together with you forever and wherever you go, you'll never lose it."
Since they are little children, their family tell them, wisdom is very important for a person. So, so many Jews can have their successful life.

In a nutshell, I believe that Jews think they are superior and so they are. Most of them are really superior in the world.

You can think you are superior, but you don't treat others with that attitude (Leslie)

I think everyone might think themselves as superior to others, whether it is the truth or not, since it is the way people are, whether we call it narcissism or self-appreciation. However, you don't treat others with that attitude. To others, we always try to show our modest by restraining our ego. If it concerns about some sensitive issues, we should be more careful.

But you are right about Jewish people's economic status in USA and in the world. If people with such a strong economic background are still discriminated, what is the root of prejudice?

I like the story you mentioned about wisdom, and I hope it still is the story most children can hear in their childhood.
