Persian v Iranian is a thing because Iran has more than one ethnicity/nationality present within its borders. Further, Persian isn't restricted entirely to Iran, as one can be of Persian descent without ever having lived within the borders of modern day Iran.

It's also a ethnic group vs state thing. Persians are also only one ethnic group that lives in Iran. There are a fair number of people who are Iranian who aren't Persian.

Persian is an ethnicity, it just so happens to be the majority ethnicity in Iran but not as much as you would think, only like 60%. And there's also a pre vs. post revolution thing that depends on when they came over and so on.

You should prob call them whatever they want but this is an interesting observation. Did not know that about them.

i never know when establishing someone else's ancestry is supposed to come up in conversation. one time i was talking to a nice lady visiting the city where i lived, and something we were talking about prompted her to say she had noticed i hadn't ever asked her where she was from, and i said one of the first things she had told me was that she was from Toronto, and she said yeah but obviously her family wasn't from there, and i said well, i was guessing that your last name was Vietnamese, but my last name is Polish, and that has gently caress-all to do with where I'm from, and anyway that was the first time i slept with someone the same day i met them, subscribe to my patreon for my complete BLT® system of romantic success via Being Less Terrible

Also I feel like it has to be said a lot of Iranians (or their family) fled their country for obvious reasons and maybe they don't feel comfortable being associated with it when there's an easy to use alternative that is just as if not more specific to them.

My family came from Germany in the late 40s and we don't talk about it. So when people ask where "I'm from" I get hella prickly. I'm a seventh generation veteran with a very german last name. I'm from fuckin America and that's bad enough.

I don't care where any of your families are from and it doesn't matter where mine is from either. I keep getting these stupid loving advertisements from Twitter. What the gently caress is a disruptive change researcher? Who the gently caress comes up with these bullshit titles and how do I get paid like that? https://twitter.com/MorganStanley/status/1156681176490422274?s=19

Historically Iran was the native name, while Europeans tended to call it Persia, Persis being one part of the country. In the 30s the Nazis suggested Iran become known by that name officially (it being related to the Aryans) and the Shah agreed. This was unpopular and was reversed a couple of times since. I don't know why Persis -> Persia, but I'm just gonna go ahead and blame the Romans and/or Greeks. Godholio fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Aug 6, 2019 |

My favorite unpopular opinion amongst certain circles is that had the Persians beaten the Greeks in the Greco-Persian wars, the world would be substantially less hosed up than it is now.

Don't hang out with weirdos. oh, right, sorry wait, maybe I was just describing it strangely: you really have never seen or heard of someone all of a sudden, mid-conversation, deciding that they need to know the ethnicity of someone they're talking to? often with the questions:
if so, that's cool, but it's very common. sadly we are the weird ones for thinking it's weird.

hey hey we got a lefty https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/05/us/connor-betts-dayton-shooting-profile/index.html quote:The most recent tweet on the @iamthespookster account was on August 3, the day of the shooting, when he retweeted a post saying, "Millenials have a message for the Joe Biden generation: hurry up and die." He also retweeted messages supporting Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. oh yay. Lets see how Fox pushes this quote:Another former high school classmate, who asked not to be identified out of concerns for his privacy, also recalled being summoned to a school administrator's office and being told he was "number one" on the list of students Betts wanted to kill. fun. also, new vocab word : pornogrind quote:Betts was in a band called the Menstrual Munchies, recalled Zach Walton, a musician who booked the band for two shows in 2018.
