The difference is this, one of the Jewish families I knew owned a pawn shop. Backing in the 1990’s I was in construction and was always on the look out for good cheap tools. Alot of construction workers would hock their tools. Example, I bought an 1 1/4” williams combo wrench for 50 cents on the dollar in great shape. Although they loaned out money on a daily basis they NEVER borrowed.
I would go there about twice a month and noticed his daughter who worked there getting out of a new Ford mustang. It was her high school graduation present, I commented on it and he told me he loved the look on the salesman's face when he decided on the car and went to his SUV and got a briefcase of $100 bills to pay for it.

But don't you hate them for lending money? Doesn't that make them Wall Street types, or at least the enablers of people in debt?

These days, car dealers make so much money selling loans they would probably cancel the deal if you whipped out the cash on them.
