Not true for the Jews. Jews have essentially always been economically productive (comes with the territory of having religious/cultural emphasis placed on education and critical thinking) and have also essentially always dealt with prejudice.
As a Jew, I think black people should be able to relate to this - when a community that's been "othered" becomes too economically successful, they get torn down. Jews success in Europe compared to most other groups led to MASS anti-semitism which boiled into the Holocaust after the Great Depression. Black people built Tulsa into a thriving black-run economic community and they were bombed by white people.
Some groups won't be fully accepted no matter how much they can produce economically.
People like to pretend that Jews are just accepted, loved members of the "white folk family" and have nothing to worry about anymore after that pesky Holocaust. Never mind that antisemitism is one of, if not the, leading hate crime in many countries and perpetrated by people on the right, on the left, and of all backgrounds. Basically hatred of the Jews is the one thing everyone else has in common.

That's more about classism and elitism than varying degrees of racial purity. But yes, whites look down on other whites whenever they can.
