(AKA IRANIAN) Is not an ARAB country, in fact many older Iranians dislike Arabs... a lot. Quick facts about iranians! 1. Gorgeous women who love brand names and German cars. 2. Hairy men, very hairy men; who love to buy German cars. 3. Persian women are VERY fiesty, they'll threaten to kick you butt if you piss them off but when your friends with a Persian its heaven. 4) Does not like movie 300, we alwasy say its over dramatized (because it is.) 5. Very gossipy women. 6. Crazy sex drive and appeal. 7. Obnoxiously smart, very good at what they do. 8. Tend to have best jobs (laywers, docters, engineers scientists.) 9. Very cocky but modest people. 10. Always late for everything, never expect us to be on time! 11. Some of the best food. Ever.

A race of people originating from Iran. These people, like Germans, are Aryans. Persians are also white, and not semitic; they are descendants of Japheth, not Shem. Persians aren't Arabs either: Lebanese, Syrians, Saudis, and Yemenites are Arabs, but not Persians. Their native religion is Zoroastarianism, but most Persians practice islam today because they were forced to convert to the religion after the Arabs invaded Iran in the 7th Century AD.
They once had a powerful and vast empire, but it was destroyed by the Greeks and even worse by the Arabs. Alexander the Great destroyed the mighty city of Persepolis when he was drunk, but the Arabs tried to suppress their culture and brought Islam, and tried to do away with the Persian language though they were unsuccessful in doing so.
Modern Persians in Iran are given little freedom and oppressed by the Islamic republic, while Persians outside of Iran are typically prosperous.

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

Alright first off, I come from the city of Hamadan in Iran. I speak the Persian language (Farsi). That does not make me a Persian. Persians are a sub-species of the Indo-Iranian Aryan tribes who migrated from South Russia and Central Asia to parts of Iran, Afghanistan and India. There were people already living in Iran like the Elamites. Some Iranian tribes settled in the South of Iran. Some of these tribes were known as the Persians. Some tribes settled in the North. Some of these tribes were known as the Medes. Persia conquered the Median Empire. Then they conquered a huge amount of land. This empire was known as the Persian Empire. I am dam proud of coming from such a Culture rich country as Iran. Just cause I come from Iran dosen't make me a Persian. I have most likely Persian blood in me, and Medean as well, Kurdish, Elami blood and many others. Most people in Iran are descended from all the Aryan (Iranian) tribes who settled in Iran.
In Iran, the people there are generally nice, hospitallous and smart. They have not lost their ways. They still keep their country's culture close to them and have not forgotten stories of the Shahnameh. In America (or other countries where Iranians generally immigrate) the Iranians there refer to themselves as 'Persian' though they have no meaning of what it is. They are mostly hospitallous, but the young Iranians there have lost their ways and are sliding into American culture and are creating a stereotype for themselves there. They will not remember the story of Arash the Archer if we said it to them! So lost are they. Instead of being wise and kind like most Iranians, they affiliate themselves with gangbangers and hookers and the like. The women also dye their blonde, hiding their natural dark hair. I am not saying that all Iranian Immigrants are like this. It's just some Individuals.

SUPERIOR. Looking back at history, it is obvious to every single Persian man out there that they are superior. they find it illogical that anyone should contest their superiority on earth. They will say look back at history,and look at the Persian empires, look at Cyrus the great, Darius, Persepolis, and so on and so forth. Then they will also claim that if one investigates closer, you will see superior mathematics , physics and even Morals. They would explain how their leaders, like Cyrus were so humble they did not want any special recognition on their graves, siting they would like to be buried with the people. The american constitution is bases on the work of Cyrus, his CYRUSOPEDIA, and therefore any Persian will state that the American constitution is simply an extention of the persian empire that Cyrus built. Therefore, persians make the conclusion that all Persians are Superior. WOuldn't you agree, though..simply look at all the great poets like Hafiz and Rumi, and incredible feats, like the road the extends from Turkey to Persepolis, Isn't it a little insane to question that Persians are superior.
how did you get 100 on your test.
