Get the Persian Gangsta Disciples mug.Related Words
A person with ancestery from modern day Iran, but contemptuous of the current regime. Most persians live in Great Neck, New York or Beverly Hills, California. They tend to be wealthy and live in large homes with very little furniture. Flashy watches and cars are requirements for all persian men. As a general rule, they are very loyal to other persians and equally sneaky when dealing with non-persians.
Is Matt retarded? He's actually considering going into business with that persian guy and his father.

Get the Persian Mayo mug.Mostly Muslim immigrants (although some of them are Christians, Jews, and Bahais) from Iran and their kids living in wealthy parts of Southern California such as Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood and Sherman Oaks, they generally have materialistic values and an ugly sounding language but they don't really bother anyone for the most part, they're one of the wealthiest immigrant groups in the USA along with the Cubans. The California Persians have a very similar attitude and political orientation to the Florida Cubans. Due to Iran having such a nasty government and being so hated in the USA they regard themselves as Persians not Iranians

their men are often very hairy.
they often feel alienated because their country is surrounded by arabs, and their country is being run like an arab country, and when they leave their country, they are often mistaken for arabs. when the fact of the matter is that persians hate arabs probably more than any other race on the face of the planet.
