Correct. They are the "erev rav," or "mixed multitude" that beheld the awesome power of God. But these same people, Egyptians and Cannanites, lacked the love of God that was in the Israelites' hearts.
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. - Exodus 12:38
Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat? - Numbers 11:4
These rebels, even today, identify with the Erev Rav and claim that being among their numbers is a blessing. That their ancestors, who were the erev rav, were standing up for God's people and, therefore, deserve immense praise.

Wow, that's a great connection. Pretty telling that it just means "trash" or "plague" from Hebrew, and that name for "undesirables" stems from what the Jews called the Egyptians who left Egypt with them. That this name has persisted for nearly 3400 years with almost exactly the same pronunciation is pretty wild.
