You don't need to take offense for some other demographic that you are unfamiliar with. Different cultures have different values, and some stereotypes based on these different values are true.
In this case, it might not be 9/10 but GP is correct that a significant fraction of the people that GP is condemning live off of donations and government subsidies. It is part of their culture.
Don't be so afraid to identify the negative aspects of some cultures. They exist.

Excuse my ignorance...but is this true? The bit about their culture including living off donations or subsidies etc.. I had not heard that before - could you share some more information about that?
From what I've been told - not by members of the community but from those who oppose them - these people believe that they don't have time to work. They are too busying studying Torah.
You should know, these people are a very small minority in our country and do not represent the rest of us. It is a small part of my taxes that go to these people, but obviously many people take issue with it.
