Hehe my mother was born in Hungary, I am as far from mizrachi as possible. I wish I wasn't Hungarian cause most of them are anti Israel.

If you consider Bukharian Jews (those from Uzbekistan and sorrounding areas) rare, then I don't know how they managed to make up 50% of all Jews living in Queens, NY.

lol, not at all. Its true that uzbeks look chinese (and mongolian), but thank G-d their was allmost 0 assimilation between Jews and with groups their. my dad did, (not any longer that much since people in Queens know of Bukharians) get mistaken to be spanish and I sometimes saw spanish people coming up to him and speaking to him in spanish. this muslim guy once thought i was iranian and asked me if im from Iran, I told him no, Im Jewish and im from uzbekistan. (never was thought to be spanish , becuase im light skinned.)

Even Rav Kahane was part Sfardic.
Really?  Didn't know that.  I'm pretty sure he always considered himself to be Ashkenazic, though.  Not that it matters.  A hero is a hero...

Half Mizrachi/Half Ashkenaz, like Chaim and Rav Kahane Z'tl!

Neat BabylonianJew.  One of my sister's good friends is an Iraqi Jew.  Her mother lived in the same village as Saddam Hussein did, back when he was a poor little orphan boy.  People in her high school called her "arab girl."  Hehe

I'm pretty much as far a jew can get from Mizrahi jews.
I'm Hungarian, Polish, Litvac, and I guess a bit Russian some how.

In regards to the Uzbeki jews, in israel there are many, though most of them consider
themselves bukharian.
Some of them are very successful. The biggest example is Lev Leviev, the wealthiest persone in
Israel.
