Why doesn’t anyone say this about Chinese, Jewish, and Indian success?

The reason Chinese people are so rich is that Chinese culture teaches everything the book of proverbs teaches.

The reason Jewish people are so successful is that they are the only religious group that majorly views their religious book as metaphorical and not literal.

The reason Indians are so rich is that they are taught to work for honour and duty, not for dreams or luxuries.

Wait what?

Apparently Indians being successful and wealthy is only a stereotype in America that doesn't exist in other countries. Fairly, India's average iq isn't insane like that of the Chinese (average around 110) and Ashkenazi, Georgian, Bukharan, and Caucasus jews (115).

Genetics and also culture plays a role, apparently China was heavily dependent on styles of farming that required farmers to be far smarter and plan+mathematically calculate rain seasons, dry seasons, flooding times, etc to a level other farmers in the world did not. As for Ashkenazi Jews, many determined intelligence and also wealth as signs of social status early on and promoted education and educated men having access to more woman.

There's a huge amount of poverty in china and India. Being wealthy is far from the norm. One could argue the souce of rich Indian/Chinese wealth is exploitation of the poor. Both countries have questionable workers rights and a bad reputation for their sweat shops. I would expect a great many of wealthy Asians have a shameful source of wealth.

China has a strong guaranteed income system so extreme poverty is much more rare in China than it is in North America. A lot of the negative things people say about China are exaggerated claims based on tiny minority contexts or stereotypes. I am not judging you since you have no way of checking these claims about China or knowing who is telling the truth, I am just saying, I think you were told false things about China.
