You can even observe their exclusions. Beta Israel were consider Jewish so they let them in, but discriminated against. Ugandan Jews some years later, despite overall consensus among Jewish scholars accepting them as real Jews, were declined even that status by the state of Israel.

Kinda remind me of ancient prejudice against Idumeans and Samaritans, and medieval against judaist Arabs and Khazars.
