My first impression of the article was that it's very well done. The page covers the stereotypes of greed, Jewish mother, Jewish-American princess, Jewish lawyer, and a nice Jewish boy. I didn't think I could add much to the article. But my sister brought up the idea of usury that the Jews practiced in history. I wondered if that was a stereotype or not. I noticed that the article mentioned usury only once, and I hope after research, I could add how usury has influenced the stereotypes in Jewish History. The sources I would use are Anti-Semitic stereotypes without Jews : images of the Jews in England 1290-1700 by Bernard Glassman, Persistent myths and stereotypes in the image of German Jews : a social perspective by Robert Liberles, and The Jews: A History by John Efron, Steven Weitzman, and Matthias Lehmann.
