Unfortunately, it's an age old dilemma and has been the cause of persecution, oppression, slavery, disputes and wars throughout the centuries. Even a younger America, with it's declaration that all men were created equal, allowed slavery and segregation to exist (until it finally came to its senses, for the most part). But pride and prejudice still continue and those that are viewed as inferior still suffer. I personally can't your question as to whypeople think they are better than others, but I can offer some Biblical support on the effects of pride:

Read Psalm 73, Proverbs 11:2, Proverbs 13:10, Proverbs 16:18, Proverbs 29:23, Isaiah 2:17, Psalm 10, 2 Chronicles 32

Why do Jews think they are better than other is it for survival?

If some Jews think they are 'better than others' it is no different from some Christians and Muslims who think that morally and spiritually they tower above head and shoulders above ordinary people. In my experience they Jews don't 'bang on' about the subject, though. Perhaps the notion that Jews think they are better is part of the stereotype?
