Why can't anyone else besides Asians and Jews get the best deals?

I always get great deals on just about everything and I am neither Jewish nor Indian.

because they usually/actually give a sh!t if they're being ripped off or not. It's either genetic or it's taught to be frugal, though I have seen some cases in my family members who don't exactally act frugal/spend wisely (maybe because the kids are only half jewish? 50/50 chance of the thrift gene?)

The obsessive stereotypical (in this regrad) asians I know are frugal because they think about money WAY too much. Money is not a means (buying stuff) but an end. It seems like having money is the reason to save it (as opposed to saving it to buy stuff, useful stuff). It seems like the "higher" social status, the "show," is the goal. ie, "I'm rich," "I have a big house (but I pirate all my music and movies)," "I have a nice car (even though I never use a/c to save gas)."

It seems like they don't buy things they use, but rather things that say "I have money" to people around them. I'm just ranting off topic-ly. I'm asian and it bothers me. Okay done.

Loud middle-aged white people do pretty well in my experience. You give them deals so they shut the f%*k up.

I'm only partly kidding. :p

Why? Because we Americans are lazy slobs too lazy to argue about stuff and just accept stuff unless we get screwed out of the original deal we agreed to. After that happens though, run for the hills, it's :Q .
