ethnic Iranians/Persians are white
by Kyle (not verified) on Sat Feb 14, 2009 09:33 PM PSTTo anonymous 1, the Persians are white people. And no, they are not represented by whites because of "a lack of Iranians in London" (whatever that is supposed to mean). If you had something of an education you would know that European (white) people as well as Iranians come from the Indo-European group, and like, all European groups, are genetically similar. Besides, you're probably not even a real Iranian anyway, making a comment like that. Just someone pretending to be one as a method of pushing your opinion on to other people.

Stop this Persian nonsense
by killjoy. (not verified) on Thu Apr 24, 2008 03:37 AM PDTWe are not Persians. WE ARE IRANIANS. We were Persians hundreds if not thousands of years ago. If we are Persian, then Italians are Romans and Turks are Othomans, etc.
What is wrong with being IRANIAN?

by ssss (not verified) on Wed Apr 23, 2008 10:13 PM PDTStop complaining. Their country, Their rules. Whenever somebody represents Persians with dark people, some Iranians complain that "NO WE ARE WHITE"!, and now you are complaining that why they represent Persian with white people. If you are really concerned about our Persian heritage, you better do something about our anti-Persian government so that instead, we can have a deserving Magical Persia Program at Persepolis. By the way, Ancient Persian monuments are falling down, and the ancient Persian cities are being ploughed by farmers and in general the national heritage is in the state of disrepair due to negligence and misconduct of Islamic regime; at least the Persian artifacts in the British Museum are well preserved.
why are white poeople always
by Anonymous1 (not verified) on Wed Apr 23, 2008 07:18 PM PDTwhy are white poeople always representing Iranian culture. Is it because there is a lack of Iranians in London, or another attempt by Iranians to dissuade the public from who we really are.
