Relating to ancient Persia, or its people.
Used to describe something from Iran.
In America, Iranian Americans usually use the slang term ‘Persian’ to call himself or herself by, instead of Iranian, Iranian American
According to the U.S. government, all Iranians as well as all of the Middle Easterners are classified as white (yes, even Indians), even though they really shouldn’t be. THEY ARE FUCKING TAN, DARK, BROWN, BROWN EYED, AND BROWN HAIRED AND THERE CULTURE IS NOTHING LIKE 'WHITE'. They should be classified as ARYAN/SEMITIC.
Persian is one of the oldest races in the world. Because of this, the ancestors of Iranians are all over the place. It also mainly depends on your religion.
The Persian Muslims and Zoroastrianists are mainly descendants of Indo-Europeans, or the Aryans, and they were white. But look at them, Persian Muslims don't have pale skin anymore (they are tan and brown), they don't have blonde hair anymore (its dark brown and black), and their eyes are brown and black now (not hazel and blue). They are not Arab. They speak Farsi. The Persian Jews, unlike Persian Muslims, are descendents from people all over the place because they are mainly Semitic and not Aryan. They are descendents of the Hebrews from Ancient Israel, and they are very close to the Arabs, but they are not Indo-Europeans. The Persian Jews are not Aryan. They look the same as the Muslims from Iran; they are exactly the same, except of the religions and ancestry. But they are the same. Their skin colors are tan and brown as well. And NO, Persian Jews aren't stereotypically cheap, a lot of Persians are cheap, and a lot of Persians need nose jobs themselves, not just the stereotypical "big-nosed" Jew. Those cheap, big nose stereotypes are for the white Jews. They speak Farsi.
List of Persian ancestry: The Semitics (Jews of Iran) is Arabic (Arabia), Hebrew (Israel), Aramean (Ancient Aram/Syria), Babylonian (Babylon), Carthaginian (Ancient Carthage/Northeastern Tunis), Ethiopian (Ethiopia), and Phoenician (Ancient Phoenicia/Syria and Lebanon).
The Aryans (Muslims and Zoroastrianists of Iran) are Indo-Aryan, Indo-Iranian, Indo-Zoroastrians Indo-European, Indo-Germanic, Indo-Hittite (Around the area of present day Germany). Both types have a little Greek, Roman, and Sub Saharan African blood.
But really, Iran is a really old country so all the people of all religions are mixed.
Over 3000 years, Ancient and modern Persians of all religion and backgrounds mixed.

known to have some of the most exotic and beautiful girls

The Persian Empire expanded from Africa to China and also to India, until Alexander the Great came along. Persians have a long and eventful history. The Shah of Persia, in the 1930s, changed the name of the country back to its original name, "Iran".

Iran means "the land of the Aryans". So Hitler and all his little Nazi friends were quite awfully wrong in calling themselves Aryans. The closest people of Aryan decent are Iranians and Afghanis and they certainly do not have blue eyes, blond hair and white skin.

As a result of mass integration of various cultures from around the Middle East area, Iranians nowadays are multiracial, but they still take great pride in their country.

Persia was a very rich country, and to some extent, it still is. But the majority of people in Iran are of lower class. However, most Iranians are hard-working and very motivated people. When they immigrate to other countries, a lot of them lead a good lifestyle because they work hard to earn a high status in society. Persians do not settle for anything but first place.

Persians are very, generally, good looking poeple. The have morals and respect their women (usually amazingly hott) They are rich because they have the old persian values instilled in them and they realize that knowlegde is the key to the future and money. They treat their women with respect, except some Americanized one's with American social skills consider themselves big pimps, but in all honesty, they are straying from the persian culture. Persian's are very noble and loving poeple, their kindness is unsurpassed by any other society, go to Iran and you shall see. Those in power, i cannot say the same generilization for, you must create your own opinion

An Iranian.

Lifestyle: Depends on the person. A Persian can be poor, wealthy or of the middle class. There is no one single status that describes a Persian's lifestyle.

Religion: The official religion of Iran is Islam but there are also many other religions practiced by Persians, especially those living outside of Iran. These other religions include Bahai and Zoroastrian.

Are famous for: Their handcrafted rugs, poetry and cats. However, many people are naive to the fact that Persia used to be a great empire that ruled the vast land spanning across the middle east towards Africa and India. This land that the Persian King Dariush ruled over was called the "Aryan" land. Hitler messed up this term and referred to himself as Aryan and referred to Aryan as a race. This is very offensive to Persian culture. Aryan has nothing to do with Germans or Germany. Aryan is not even a race. It was used to refer to the land that the Persians lived on and. Aryan means "noble" in the ancient Persian language.

Physical features: Persian women are said to be some of the most beautiful women in the world. They are famous for their exotic looking eyes. In general, Persians have black hair, brown eyes, and light brown skin. However, this is just a generalization and it varies. There are some who have hazel eyes or brown hair, and some who have dark brown skin.

someone who is from iran and is cool

Iranians in the US refer to themselves as Persians.

Iranians/Persians living in the US are said to have some of these stereotypes (although I dont have most of them!)

Pretty much the Russians of the Middle-East. They drink like crazy, all the ones in America are ridiculously rich, they sure do like techno, and all their women are drop-dead gorgeous until they hit 30.

Though they are stereotyped as Arabs, Persians are not Arabs. Belly dancing, Islam, and riding camels is all Arabic stuff. Persians do not speak Arabic, they speak Persian. The reason for some Arab qualities of Persian culture today is because they were conquered by Arabs about 1300 years ago. Before that, Persia was like another Greece or Rome. They should be considered a European people. Persians to this day are still angry at Arab people for forcing Islam unto them and pretty much ruining the country forever. Quite frankly, calling a Persian dude "Arab" would be suicide.

Persian men are stereotyped as hairy, rich, long eyelashes, wears too much cologne, good grades, amazing at soccer, often mistaken to be Italian (sometimes taking advantage of this), and enormously faithful. Persian women are stereotyped as dark haired, long legged, and very closed off to dating outside their race, contrary to Persian men who probably date outside their race more often than not. Lying is one of the biggest taboos in Persian culture so if you happen to be going out with a Persian right now, rest assured he/she will NOT play around with others.

Up until the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran was just like any other country in Europe. But when the revolution came around in 1979-1980, Is...
