Mizrahiyim (Originate in Arab States , Yemen , India , Pakistan , etc’, Jewish):
At first: Very welcoming, warm hearted, not smart, not rich, huge family gatherings, feasts, dumb, friendly, love food, love meeting new people, call everyone ‘my bro’, try to negotiate everything, cuss a lot. Enjoy big feasts, meeting new people, camping, family gatherings, celebrating,
How they see the Israeli culture: Think they aren’t treated fairly, yet Israel has a wonderful culture. Israeli music is wonderful! They like it very much. It is similar to theirs, with tons of slang, negotiating, noise, just wonderful. They don’t like the brainy classical side of the culture though.
How they think their culture affected Israeli culture: Brought new foods, slang, taught how to be welcoming. They brought the best music with all the drum beats and crazy love songs.
What they think about blending the two cultures: Wonderful! They got to meet so many new people! So yes, Ashkenazi music might be boring, and they are a little too polite, but they get along great! They make Israel a wonderfully developed country with wonderful people from everywhere. “So yes they are a little sour and try to ruin the parties from time to time, but we get along great! They help the economy (They buy expensive things) and they are smart!” as my cousins’ grandmother said.
This is a reliable source because this is what my Israeli relatives said. Still, it is very bias because my uncle, my cousin’s grandparents, and my mother’s sister’s husband are Mizrahim so that is their viewpoint. They have no conflicting evidence because this is their beliefs. They didn’t mean to use connotation because I didn’t ask them to try to persuade why they are right, and also it was in Hebrew so it was hard for me to translate. They didn’t really have a purpose, because I asked them these questions, they didn’t do this for their own.
