Yer good, kid. Real good. You get the yob.

true true. he was a stingy one, too. he got all his clothes from the goodwill.

You’re missing context. In historic persecution of Jews, they were forbidden to own land so they were forced into banking, mercantile, and the professions. They didn’t “migrate” to money and fastidious saving for times of hardship; they were forced into it by repeatedly having their property seized. Also, their religion encourages them to settle all debts before New Year’s Day so they’re not carrying huge debt burden like most gentiles. Because of their belief in financial responsibility, they tend to marry later and have (fewer) children later in life than gentiles. I think the ad acknowledges their fiscal responsibility and opens a door to acknowledging the persecution that fostered it. Our government could learn something from their example.

Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence”,[1] a 2005 paper by Gregory Cochran, Jason Hardy, and Henry Harpending, argued that the unique conditions under which Ashkenazi Jews lived in medieval Europe selected for high verbal and mathematical intelligence but not spatial intelligence. Their argument has four main premises:

Today’s Ashkenazi Jews have a high average mathematical and verbal IQ and an unusual cognitive profile compared to other ethnic groups, including Sephardic and Oriental Jews.

From roughly 800 to 1650 CE, Ashkenazi Jews in Europe were a mostly isolated genetic group. When Ashkenazi Jews married non-Jews, they usually left the Jewish community; few non-Jews married into the Jewish community.

During the same period, laws barred Ashkenazi Jews from working most jobs, including farming and crafts, and forced them into finance, management, and international trade. Wealthy Jews had several more children per family than poor Jews. So, genes for cognitive traits such as verbal and mathematical talent, which make a person successful in the few fields where Jews could work, were favored; genes for irrelevant traits, such as spatio-visual abilities, were supported by less selective pressure than in the general population.

One basic question to be answered in assessing a genetic explanation of unusual intelligence in Ashkenazi Jews is whether today’s Ashkenazi Jews really do, as a group, have unusual intelligence. Assessing intelligence, especially of ethnic groups, is notoriously difficult and subject to racist and political biases.
One observational basis for inferring that Ashkenazi Jews have high intelligence is their prevalance in intellectually demanding fields. From 1901–2010, 21.5% of Nobel prize winners were Jewish, while Jews make up a much smaller fraction of the population of the countries represented. For example, 36% of Nobel prize winners from the United States have been Jewish, while Jews make up 2.1% of the U.S. population.[7] G. Cochran, J. Hardy and H. Harpending additionally cite the disproportionately high percentage of Ashkenazi Chess Grandmasters and Fields Medalists in mathematics.[
