Stereotypes of Jews are generalized representations of Jews, often caricatured and of a prejudiced and antisemitic nature. The Jewish diaspora has been stereotyped for over 2,000 years as the scapegoat for a multitude of societal problems such as: Jews always acting with unforgiving hostility towards Christians, Jews' religious rituals which are thought to have specifically undermined the Christian Church and state, and Jews' habitual assassinations of Christians as their most extreme deeds. Common objects, phrases and traditions which are used to emphasize or ridicule Jewishness include bagels, playing violin, klezmer, undergoing circumcision, kvetching, haggling and uttering various Yiddish phrases like mazel tov, shalom, and oy vey. Other Jewish stereotypes are the rabbi, the complaining and guilt-inflicting Jewish mother, often along with a meek and nerdy nice Jewish boy, and the spoiled and materialistic Jewish-American princess.
