Description

The three major racial Jewish types. Mizrahi (Middle Eastern), Ashkenazi (white) and Sephardi (Hispanic).
Yes, they are variations and this will not guarantee you'll be able to tell a Mizrahi from a Sephardi.
But it's the major differences, one may say.

Also, please don't give me any "OMG you make Jews a race, you racist!" bullshit. First off, there is a reason why Jews are often identified or stereotyped with big noses and curly hair. Second, these are officially recognized categories.

Mizrahi
These are my favorite, though they also include Ethiopians and basically every Jewish person from the Middle East. The Mizrahi "sub-type" I find most attractive, is the "Arab".

Ashkenazi
The whitey. Kyle from South Park would be one. Very variegated. And in Israel, often racist toward Mizrahi and Sephardis.

Sephardi
Often lumped in with Mizrahi, the latter being the one whose distinction is discarded and just renamed to Sephardi. Jews from Portugal, Spain, and other Hispanic/"Spanoid" Jews, including nowadays South-Americans. Basically a pale Mizrahi, when talkign about appearance.

Personally I think one can tell the difference between a non-black Mizrahi and a Sephardi best by looking at the features. The Mizrahi's will normally be more "Arabic", the hair thicker and curlier, more like an African's. Also they tend to have a shitload of eye lashes, even the men, really beautiful. But they also tend to be shorter than Jewish races from the West such as Sephardi or Ashkenazi. This difference is especially notable in my clan where the Mizrahi members are way shorter than the Ashkenazi members. Also, Mizrahi still tend to be darker of skin than Sephardi, no matter how pale.

Why did I make this? Mostly for myself as a reference for future IDF drawings, but also because I hate how the Mizrahi type is being discriminated against and lumped in with the Sephardi. Portugal isn't even geographically close to where us Mizrahis come from.

No guarantees for correctness.

Pretty ironic that some ashkenazi Jews would be racist towards mizrahi Jews considering that their ancestors were dark skinned like the mizrahi, in fact the mizrahi probably look more like the ancient 12 tribes of old then the ashkenazi a the ashkenazi only became white simply because they interbred with native Europeans.
