There is no country named "Persia" but rather Iran.
In other words an IRANIAN AND PERSIAN is the same thing!
Iranians are Persians, and they are known for..
1. ) Having their largest community outside of Iran in Southern California - The Los Angeles area is nicknamed "Tehrangeles" with nearly 800,000 Iranians
2.) Most Persians are hard working in school and become professionals such as doctors and engineers, and also many entrepreneurs.
3.) Iran is a Muslim country with other religions, however, most Iranians are "Secular Muslims" and they identify with muslim culture and view themselves as being more spiritual and not religous. They are very progressive and open to modern ideas and American lifestyle
4.) Persian men are very handsome and Persian women are some of the best looking women in the middle east ( Only Lebanon has more beautiful women!) They are known for dressing in Armani, Roberto Cavalli and Gucci

Most Persians live in the areas of Irvine, West LA, San Fernando Valley and Silicon valley. They all are rich and and wear the best clothes!

Get the persian mug.Persian doesn't just refer to people from Iran, it refers to anyone who was a part of the great Persian Empire. All that is left of the empire nowadays is Iran, that is why people from Iran are mostly referred to as Persians.
Persians are not white. I don't think half the people who are defining "Persian" here have ever seen a Persian before in their life. Persians' skin colors range from olive to brown and their hair is brown and black. Eyes are usually brown or black, but hazel is common too. The notion that Persians have white skin and blue eyes stems from the Nazis trying to link themselves to Aryans (who were originally Iranian). However, Germans are not Aryan in any way. The Nazis were stupid, what can I say?

Someone who hails from Persia. I have no problem with Persians and know a guy whose family is from Persia and he's the nicest guy, but unlike from what I've read here, Persians don't look that much like Italians guys. Sorry
