you just read about random Jewish families with this kind of wealth
Well yeah, (non-Haredi) Ashkenazi Jews are rich, because they are intelligent, and intelligent people can make lots of money. That's a very different claim from saying that Jews are uniquely likely to pass down or hoard their wealth. In fact, a list of the countries with the highest private wealth to GDP ratio looks like this:
- Hong Kong
- Italy
- Spain
- Switzerland
- United States
Israel is down at number 46, between Bahrain and Slovakia.
It’s frowned upon by non Jews.
On this ranking of most charitable countries, Israel outperforms almost every European country on every metric. America and Israel both score highly, most likely because they are both very religious by rich country standards.
So yes there are more examples of Jews hoarding money in clans. Safras, Rothschild, Sassoons.
Here are a list of the wealthiest families:
- Ellison - Ashkenazi/Italian, although he explicitly rejects his Jewish heritage
- Walton - Anglo-American
- Arnault - French and 'devoutly Catholic'
- Tata - Indian
- Koch - Dutch-American
- Ortega - Spanish
- Ambani - Indian
- Mars - Euro-American, not Jewish
- Adani - Indian
- Slim - Lebanese
As far as I can tell, all you're doing is combining confirmation bias with a dislike of Jews. None of what you are saying has any factual basis.
You also never explained what exactly you mean by 'really bad things'. I suspect you deliberately elided between the ability to do bad things, and actually doing bad things, which allows you to infer they are committing evil without having to demonstrate it.

The NFL as an organization wants to market more to hispanics at home and abroad
It seems to be like the tension is between the Superbowl as a piece of TV entertainment, and the Superbowl as part of American civic religion. The 'proposition nation' needs propositions, and if that proposition is 'we're going to replace you and make you speak Spanish, also Free Puerto Rico (even if approximately zero Puerto Ricans support this) then I'm sympathetic to the MAGA crowd for getting annoyed.

Jews are not fully assimilated in America. They have values around money that white people do not. Mostly a desire you see pop up of generating large amounts of generational wealth which is looked down on by the rest of society. Plus an increased ability to do some really bad things.
[Citation needed]
From what I can gather, you are arguing that:
- Jews want to pass on wealth to their children (generational wealth)
- Non-Jewish Euro-Americans disapprove of passing on wealth to children (or maybe just when Jews do it)
- Jews are smart (increased ability)
- Jews use their intelligence to do (unspecified) 'really bad things'
Aside from the 3rd one, I don't think any of these things are true. Do you have any evidence?

And perhaps it's simply that there is nothing to fight about. There is no toxoplasma, no scissor statement.
I think that's the main point. There is no apologetic side for the husband or his co-conspirators.
Speculatively, I would also say that Mme Pelicot being older has something to do with it. The instinctive aversion that women have to rape stems primarily from the fact that they are forced to carry the child of an inferior man they didn't choose, who is presumably absent. Men's instinctive aversion is that someone is doing this to 'our' women. Gisele was 58 when the rapes started, so our pregnancy alarms don't go off.
People are obviously sympathetic to Gisele, but I think the general reaction shades more towards confusion and disgust than outrage. As if her husband had sex with an animal or something.

Sure, but they were segregationists; it wasn't about crime.
Seems like a remarkable coincidence, dontcha think? That the people being segregated just happened to have a murder rate that was 5-10 times higher than the majority population?
Saying 'they were segregationists' seems close to saying they were murderists.

I would also like to know where you see countries in Europe falling on the spectrum. Growing up in the UK in the 90s it was pretty free range, but my impression is that modern parents here are much more paranoid (although not to the insane degree I read about in America).

I feel like guys often pick the “waitress” over the girl boss.
Depends what you mean by often. Sure, it happens sometimes, but not enough to affect the stats, which show a clear relationship between spousal income. Rich men are also less likely to marry a woman significantly older or younger. This article has details it with many nice charts.
It was probably more common in the past, when people married outside their own class more often (think the lawyer who meets a nice girl at the local church vs at grad school)
Technophiles like to talk about guaranteed minimum income when the robots inevitably take all our jobs. I wonder if the process won't be more gradual. Disability and unemployment schemes expanding until they encompass basically everyone. The more people who lie in order to access the schemes, the less taboo there is for everyone else.
The only thing that seems to be stopping it is the status hit that people take from being unemployed. As much as I criticise building an identity around work, at least those people tend not to cheat the welfare system.
