And it isn’t just jews; The trope of the Irish cop came about because a lot of police in the east were in fact of Irish decent. It was a rough, poorly paid job that only immigrants were desperate enough to do. After a couple of generations do a job, it becomes a family business of sorts. The trope of Chinese laundry mats is based on poor immigrants doing jobs nobody else wanted to do. After a while it too becomes a family business. 

Do you think this kind if thing is behind us as a nation? Tell that to the Korean markets and/or liquor stores that were burned down in the Rodney King riots. (The only entrepreneurs willing to build a business in the high crime areas; Of course because of they owned stores and were “successful” by comparison, they were accused of taking advantage of the neighborhoods.) And nowadays people make jokes, and tropes, about middle eastern people owning gas station minimarts and hotels. (I would reference the Simpsons, but I stopped watching that show decades ago and can’t remember Indian guy’s name… with 50 kids no less.)

Poor immigrants tend to do jobs nobody else is doing, and once they find a niche, work hard and become successful… then non-immigrants take notice and wonder how “they” took over? If it wasn’t so predictable it might be funny. I wonder what the Haitians will “take over”? Garbage collection? Or do the Italians still have that on lock? Maybe the Venezuelans will corner the chicken processing plants? The “Mexicans” have over-extended themselves on the gardening and fruit picking. /s

What a world.

With the little difference that in the case of banking the job no one wanted to do turned out to be the central part of any modern economy and one of the most solid ways of making money. Too bad for the shortsightedness of those who delegated that particular job.
