Jews as in they are famous for their many award winners. An abnormal amount of rich people are Igbo in Africa, when compared to the African population that is Igbo and they have a plethora of Nobel prize winners. A famous one is Chinua Achebe this is why I put Jews of Africa in quotes.

I also think Caucasians are really good at building important/unique/ successful companies. Like Apple, Miscrosoft, IKEA, Boeing, and General Electric among others. Just my observation I think Caucasians are generally decent people. Maybe not too friendly sorta cold, but once your friends usually people are pretty decent from my experiences at least.

So I notice Asians specifically like Chinese and Japanese have cool architecture. I think they are also good at building companies especially Japanese. They are usually pretty business/money inclined. I mean look at all the Teriyaki shops, and Asian nail places. Money seems really important to Asian people from my obersavations, but they seem good at getting it! Also they are usually really respectful. Not loud and obnoxious in public. I think Chinese and Japanese culture is pretty cool!
americans, french, british are not an ethnic group, nor they belong to the same ethnicities.

caucasians come from armenia, georgia and azerbaijan

More than ethnicities i would refer to culture. That's the decisive factor, a Finn that has lived most of his life in the USA is more likely to identify with American values and culture than their Finnish counterparts.

True

the concept of ethnicity is subjective

what truly influences people is upbringing by their own individual parents, not really ethnicities or races or skin colors.

very few it seems

"Today, the majority of the Igbo people are Christian, although many also retain belief in their traditional religion. Over half of the Christians are Roman Catholic.[132] There are a small population of Igbo Jews, who claim descent from ancient Jewish traders who married their women."

Hmm, yes. I was thinking from an European ethnic-nationalistic perspective. And replied twice, we are good at killing and classical music, and that is true, but it's a cultural and not an ethnic trait. But if an ethnicity is 'White' or 'Anglo' or 'Protestant' or 'Catholic' or 'Asian', the question is quite pointless.

Americans have a very strange way of seeing the world.

USA = Diverse, everyone wants to live there and it has everything the world has to offer.

Europe = only white people, 0 diversity, nothing more than just whites.

Africa = only black people, 0 diversity, nothing more than just blacks.

Asia = only oriental people, 0 diversity, nothing more than just chinese looking fellas.

Latin America = Mexican people all the way down to the land of fire, nothing but mexican people everywhere, from Cuba, to Brazil, to Argentina.

Once you understand that that is how Americans tend to see it all, its easy to understand why they make such bizarre threads like "will Europeans look at me weird if I have thick lips"?
