I guess I probably should've phrased it in that while there are many Sephardic Jews in the US, there are more Ashkenazi Jews. It is because of this that American Jews are typically stereotyped as having white skin. Most people don't even recognize a Sephardic Jew when they see one because they probably believe the person is Hispanic.
