First comes Chinese. Out side heathrow I saw a chinese family waiting for a cab for 40 mins. When the cab came, because it was a few pounds more than what she had in mind, she decided to take the bus. Then comes Dutch. They all have a caravan when thy go to other countries and never buy anything from host countries. One reason why they are not liked.Indians I see are spending a lot.
However I believe stingy/frugal to be a good thing. More savings/investment unlike stupid americans.

oh yes, i forgot to add chinese to the list. but now Chinese consider one of the most generous.

Indians are one of the stingiest. They are known to book a hotel room for 2 people, and then they bring more than 10 of their family members to stay there.

The Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִי� ISO 259-3 Yhudim Israeli pronunciation [jehu'dim]), also known as the Jewish people, are a nation and ethnoreligious group originating in the Israelites or Hebrews of the Ancient Near East. The Jewish ethnicity, nationality, and religion are strongly interrelated, as Judaism is the traditional faith of the Jewish nation.[3][4][5]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews
Judaism can be thought of as being simultaneously a religion, a nationality and a culture.
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Judaism/jewnation.html
Throughout the middle ages and into the 20th century, most of the European world agreed that Jews constituted a distinct nation. This concept of nation does not require that a nation have either a territory nor a government, but rather, it identifies, as a nation any distinct group of people with a common language and culture.

That is personal experience.
I heard stories about Sam from FJ Benjamin, his family chauffer drives him to camp in a Bentley.
Think one of this squadron mates took $0.20 from him to play video arcade, he asked them back for it a week later.
