  • No, you’re exactly right. The whole point of the story was to find goodness in the most unlikely places. “If one of those horrid Samaritans could help a Jew in need, then certainly you can find it in your heart to do the same.”

    If the opposite but equivalent existed: The phrase would be “the generous Jew”, and it would be in regards to an old tale about a poor Samaritan beggar who gets a new start on life thanks to an unlikely gift from a Jewish banker. And the moral of the story would be that if the greedy Jew could help a beggar, so can you.

    Of course, that’s a racist stereotype that I do not personally believe or support, but again, that’s the whole point of the original story.
