What difference does it make if we were once all Sephardi or not? It’s very nice if true, but we aren’t living in the past and shidduchim are made based the reality we live in today. OP, it sounds like you and your child are in a difficult situation that is being exacerbated by unhelpful and discriminatory shadchanim. I don’t doubt that you are suffering. I empathize with you. But I don’t think a discussion of Klal Yisroel’s Sephardi roots is really relevant. You won’t get the shadchanim to change their minds that way, and if Ashkenazi/Sephardi shidduchim are rarely made due to cultural differences, those cultural differences aren’t going away just because it turns out they haven’t been around as long as we might have thought.
