I met a dutch student today, around 30 years old, we chat a little
and he asked me if I am a Turkish? I replied No, I am Iranian.He got so embarrassed and asked me if I got offended. I replied “Not at all”
I have been thinking about it all day today, I know a number of my
friends get offended when they’re asked if they are arab, mexican,
turkish, paki but they don’t get offended if they are asked whether or not they are Italian!
If we are proud of our persian race why don’t we get offended when we are asked if we are Italian? and why we get offended when we are asked whether or not we are from Bangladesh
After all we are all cousins. (My Israeli friend always says that to me too)
