Again you seem to wilfully miss my point and read/think whatever you want to. Yes, some cultures have more successful people from within them than others and some are more low achieving than others. But you can’t say someone is Jewish therefore they are rich/successful nor can you say someone is black therefore they will be in a gang.

If you speak to Jewish people you’ll realise that they hate this tag. It means people think they are a legitimate target. David Baddiel’s recent book is really good on it.

It’s just another form of lazy stereotyping, albeit people think it a positive one so it’s fine.

It’s extremely lazy to lump entire cultures as ‘successful’ or ‘not successful’ and entirely unhelpful. It’s also a common anti-Semitic trope to label Jewish people as ‘successful’ and by virtue in charge of various institutions and a ‘fair target’ for abuse (which is where the left of Labour Party continue to be stunningly blind on).

There are so many reasons as to why someone is ‘successful’ or not. It’s not defined by culture alone - it can be a factor but it is far from the only one. I know it makes it easier for you to try and understand it but you have to dig deeper than that.

Why is it lazy, western culture has been very successful, why else does most of the world want to move here.

Dan H , Let's make it easy, who is more successful Europe or Africa, when it comes to , health, economy and education.
I'm going to guess you say Africa.

I was initially responding to the comment ‘Jewish people are known to be successful’.

Spend some time talking to Jewish people/read some stuff by Jewish writers on the stereotypical perception and make your own mind up.

So my opinion on whether the Jewish culture is successful or not should be informed by the opinions of Jews themselves.

Hmmmm...

Looking for the offence, again!!
And the answer is because we were more advanced which = be more successful.
