Where did the concept of Jews being stingy come from?
<|assistant|>
The idea that Jews are stingy is based on the centuries-old stereotype of Jews as cheap. This negative stereotype stems from anti-Semitic tropes that depict Jews as being stingy, unfair tradespeople, and unscrupulous dealers. The myth has existed for centuries and can even be traced back to the Bible, where Jews are accused of hoarding resources to use for their own benefit. Over time, this stereotype became ingrained in popular culture and has been perpetuated by literature, movies, cartoons, and other forms of media, further reinforcing this outdated and misinformed perception.
