Iranian of the Day

what is the big deal?

I think most people acknowledge that Iranians have many different looks, but why does everyone get so psyched over an Iranian having colored eyes or looking "more Aryan." Shouldn't we pride ourselves more on what the good people in our country have done rather than bragging about how we have Aryan looking people in our country. Kurds have a higher rate of light skinned/light eyed people among them, but they are heavily mixed with their surrounding neighbors too and so you will find a variety of appearances among Kurds.

Its almost like they want the entire world to know "hey we have people with blue or green eyes in our country." Who cares? What is the big deal with having light hair/dark hair, light skin/dark skin/ colored eyes, or dark eyes?

within families, genes are so variable and the human race is so mixed in so many parts of the world, particularly the Middle East.

blue eyes

Ofcourse, My Grandmother has hazel green eyes and her mother (my great grandmother was blonde and had blue eyes - in fact her whole family looked very light with colorful eyes).

Olagh they are not blue,

Olagh they are not blue, they are Aqua!

She makes me proud...

I didn't know Zarinebaf. I did some googling to research her and I would like to say I am very proud of her. I love history and I will purchase one of her books to learn more about her work.

This woman has a long list

#1:
As Bozmajeh already pointed out, Ms. Zarinebaf-Shahr happens to be a scholar, has published many articles, and ironically, some on gender studies. Please respect her for her accomplishments. If your male ego cannot accept that fact, and tries to mask it by making comments about her physical appearance, please do everyone a favour and move back to your islamic republic. 'Cause that's where you and your attitude belong.

#2:
This arian pride horse-shit gets more pathetic every time. First of all, the people you're trying to convince will never take you as their kin, just because some distant cousin of yours had blue eyes. For every .1% of our so-called-arian population that happens to be blonde and blue eyed, they've got millions. The fact that we have to dig deep into distant cousins and family tales and folklore to find the kinda-sorta-white-looking one, only reveals our insecurities as a minority in our adopting countries, if not self-hatred. Try accepting who we are and how we look, and don't make a fool of us by calling us Aryans. True that we are Aryans (for obvious historic reasons), but we’re far from the Aryan race they have in mind.
The word Aryan has different meanings to different people.

This woman has a long list

This woman has a long list of achievments and all you comment on is the color of her eyes!!!!
Good God!
Ghalat nakonam this Hosein guy is the same guy who does all those anti women (among other groups) ludicrous cartoons.

blue and smart fariba

hossein, you're probably are from the south. two of my uncles who are former iranian boxing champs have blue eyes, one dark hair and the other real blonde. in fact, most of my cousines from my dad side have either green or blue eyes, and some blonde. Not me, i took after my mom.

Of course we have people with blue eyes

First of all many Arians (here we go again) have blue eyes and dark hair and not what is believed that Arians were all blonde with blue eyes.

There is a village in the mountains of Himalayas that its inhabitants who are completely detached from civilization (so to speak) are true Arians and according to National Geographic magazine, "perhaps the only pure Arians left on earth." These villagers never bathe or wash their body in their entire life. They don't need it anyway since they live in high altitude with layers of skin conditioned for that climate. They have dark hair and blue eyes. One can see examples of such feature in England also -dark hair and blue eyes.

In Iran among Kurds and in Mazandaran you can find people with blue eyes. These days you can have your eyes turned blue by placing special contact lenses in your eyes. It is worth mentioning that dark hair is geneticaly dominant, but I am not aware of how the colors of eyes work genetically speaking.

Our lady above is certainly beautiful.
