    Seems like my comment didn’t come through for some reason, so I write it again. Iranian is not an ethnicity. It should be changed to Persian. She grew up speaking Farsi and is quoted saying “I wanted to go to med school because that’s what every good Persian girl does” (Leila Barghouty: When The World Shut Down, Nazanin Boniadi Got To Work. Bustle, 2020.).
