POV Tag

This article takes the position that the "stereotypes" are uniformly false and that they are perpetuated through anti-Semitism. It acknowledges, however, that the stereotypes have existed for centuries. If the stereotypes have no basis in truth, how is it that the Jews have not been able to shake them, despite hundreds of years of opportunity in which to do so?John Paul Parks (talk) 04:11, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

You are not allowed to ask that question. Never again!Lars Frierson (talk) 23:02, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

That's how stereotypes function. Once a critical mass of people spread over a large enough distribution believe a stereotype to be true, the concept is successfully divorced from it's origins, and becomes accepted as fact and impossible to ever overcome despite being obviously untrue. If it is a stereotype, then it can't true 99%+ of the time. If it is true in 99%+ of cases, then it isn't a stereotype. Humans have five fingers isn't a stereotype. Redheads have short tempers is a stereotype. Jews are greedy is a stereotype. Kentpollard (talk) 23:44, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

Article is limited to US POV

The article should be rewritten with more research put into it.

Currently it writes of certain stereotypes as if they originate from US diaspora (as if written by person best familiar with US part of subject),

however the very same stereotypes (Jewish Mother, Nice Jewish Boy, Jewish lawyer) were and are present in Eastern Europe (particularly they were present in communist occupied Poland, USSR which were way behind the iron curtain to get the stereotype from the US).

Obviously some of the stereotypes have deeper roots and didn't originate in US. More research is required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.121.0.11 (talk) 03:22, 30 December 2018 (UTC)
