It's a result of antisemitism - Jews weren't allowed to participate in most trades (or have building on streets for example, like here in London), so money lending was one of the few roles available. I've never heard religious teaching barring Jewish people from other trades.

Yes but Christianity isn’t a race and Kanye wasn’t discussing religious law as mentioned in the other thread.
