        (um Persians are white)

        Well not all of them are white or whitish, you do have afro-Iranians there

          Ethnic Persians are Caucasians, and some of them even pass for Europeans.

            Ok, let me put aside everything I know about how long black people have been in that area. We will go with the official lie that’s told. I want you to tell me, how many generations of a group of people have to live and die in a country, before they can be seen as Ethnically part of that country? Because the official lie states that black people have been living and dying in that area since the 700’s. In my eyes that makes them every bit as Ethnically Persians(iran, Iraq etc.), as any Caucasian there. You ask any white American, whose family has been here for generations, if they Ethnically have the right to call themselves part of this country, and see quickly they say YES. Also just to put this in here, those Caucasians you mention, weren’t seen as such until after 1923.Before that, they were listed as Asians

          • andrew says:

            there is a small community of slaves descendants in Iran, a minority, are you claiming they’re ethnic Persians?? And being Iran located in Asian continent it makes sense Iranians were listed as “Asians” back in the days

          • fuzzybear44 says:

            @Andrew

            Well yes those minorities as you call them, have been there more than a thousand years, so yes that makes them Ethnically Persians .Also them being descendants of slaves doesn’t change the fact that they were born there. Just like their parents and grandparents and so on. They weren’t born anywhere else.

          @fuzzybear44
          There is only a very small amount of afro-iranians there which they descend from slaves who were taken to southern iran. They’re not persians so don’t open your uneducated mouth when u don’t know jackshit about iran. Iran is made up of many ethnic groups. Idk what afro-iranian have to do with persians. But persians descend from white aryan who came from southern russia. iranian is also a nationality but persian is one of ethnic groups of iran. shut up.
