In many places of the world, certain groups were discriminated against because they were richer than average (Jews in Europe, Chinese in SE Asia, Igbos in Nigeria).
The European Jewry was not richer, on average, than other Christian ethnic and religious groups. The average European Jew lived in the Pale and was equivalent in economic class to a serf (except that serfs were at least Christian, and therefore afforded a non-outsider social class).
But this is irrelevant to the discussion at hand, which is about the US.
