DISCLAIMER: This post is not anti-jewish in any sense. Just an honest attempt to explain what I never knew existed. To me, it could be deemed a secret society. i have plenty of jewish friends (includes best friend).
This could probably apply everywhere (ie politics, technology) but I have always been blind to the power of the jewish connections in Wall Street. Never did I suspect the hidden brotherhood that exists and how powerful it could be.
I am asian-american. I will tell you that i have learned a few things. Please tell me if I am wrong.
1. Apparently at synagogues, jews are taught that everyone else is a gentile or pig. This explains some of the arrogance I have seen by some jews at work. It is a different arrogance (hard to explain). There are some who can be classified as "difficult" at work and what is funny is that they stick together well. I never made the connection until someone asked me what they had in common. I was flabbergasted.
2. In conducting business, some jews look at me as if I have three heads. I work well with clients but it is abit different with some jews (ones who wear the beanies) I apologize if that is the wrong term. I cant spell the proper term. We have one nasty client (I prefer to stay away from) and i have always wondered how one jewish coworker got along with him. Wow.
3. My friend works at a tech company and was pitching a business one time. The owner of the tech company is an Israeli. The owner of the business they were pitching asks "who is the owner?" My friend, also asian-american, tells him the name. The prospect says "Oh is he one of us? (pointing to his beanie on his head) and smiles. They got the deal.
This is not isolated to the jews at all. I know it exists everywhere. I just learned to appreciate the power of the jews and how well they stick together and help eachother. It's an admirable quality and it contributes to their success.
At the same time, it saddens me that whether you are jewish makes a differences in how well you can succeed in Wall Street.

It may not be ALL Jews but it seems that in some circles and I'm sure especially those in positions of power, have an exclusive circle that will exclude outsiders and ostracize "offenders".

I had heard about the nepotism and stick-togetherness of the Jewish community from wanna-be movie makers to cleaning ladies but I never put much thought into it. I literally brushed it off as being antisemitic.
I don't mean simply not saying "hi", he walks by me as if I am not even there. I was confused, shocked and a bit hurt. He admits this guy is a jerk but never speaks to me again? Huh?
There is some truth in what the OP said of his experiences which I feel should be address maturely. It may not be ALL Jews but it seems that in some circles and I'm sure especially those in positions of power, have an exclusive circle that will exclude outsiders and ostracize "offenders".

Did this lawyer mistreat you as a result of your not being jewish? can't say.
Is it possible Mr. Shapiro was offended by your rejection of his referral? Is it possible his friend gave him a different story than the one you gave?

Have you considered that thats not due to his race but because he´s simply an idiot?
