She's American not Iranian

by HHH on Tue Jun 22, 2010 10:26 AM PDT

She's sweet and she's a great athlete but she's born and raised in America, speaks American, and eats cereals.

An Iranian is born and raised in Iran, speaks Farsi and eats Noono-panir with chaii.

We have to stop counting other people's accomplishments as ours. What Cyrus the Great did in 500BC has nothing to do with us, they were different people and mostly migrated away.

We have to start producing ourselves, we can't sit on our ass and keep being proud of others we call our own. That's some kind of fraud.

Are there IRI sanctioned swim suites for women swimers?

We sure are proud of an athlete like you! Girl power! It take talent, smarts, dedication, hard work, stamina, parental and brother's support! Unlike modeling showing skin! You are the star and beautiful too! Congratulations!

Best of luck to you!
