Persians are an ethnic group from the country of Iran, they are the direct descendents of ancient Indo-Iranians (Aryans), who arrived in parts of Greater Iran circa 2000-1500 BCE and constitute the largest ethnic group in Iran and one the oldest.
Persians have played a crucial part in the history of Iran and their cultural achievement and language (Farsi) constitutes the basis of Iranian society. Persians and ancient Medes(modern Kurds)established the first Iranian state.
Persians lend their name to the Persian Empire (Achamenid Empire) which at the height of its power encompassed approximately 7.5 million square kilometres and became the largest empire of the ancient world.
The Persian Gulf in the Southwest Asian region located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula is also named after the Persian people.
Real Persians hail from Iran only, other ethnic group native to other countries sometimes wrongfully claim to be Persian because they speak various dialects of the Persian language.

One of the most successful and awesome races on the planet.
Although some Persian people love plastic surgery and showing off their tacky Chanel bags, a large majority of Persian people have naturally beautiful features and bodies and are very modest, hardworking people.
Persian people are obsessed with cleanliness. Their homes are so clean you can eat off their floors, usually accented by Persian rugs and expensive European paintings. They place a huge emphasis on looking and smelling good, which is why so many of them buy expensive perfumes and(authentic) designer clothes.
Their spending habits can be somewhat ridiculous. A lot of Persians buy their children expensive German cars without much thought and live in expensive houses.
Persian people raise their children to work hard and get good grades. They are such perfectionists that a large majority of them become sucessful doctors, businessmen, and entrepeneurs.
Persian men can be extremely hot-tempered, so watch who you mess with. A Persian father is the epitome of masculinity. They may be strict, have a short fuse, and throw one too many vases at the wall, but they live for their children.
Persian women are extremely beautiful and have huge hearts. A Persian mother will always welcome a stranger into her house, and encourage them to eat until they can't walk anymore. They are very kind and giving people.
Persian people love soccer, tea ("chayee"), having huge parties at their houses, and getting into a good argument. They can be extremely dramatic and love making life into a soap opera, but it's part of their charm.
Although they are frequently categorized as a "brown" race, they have Aryan blood and are considered "white".
Their race has been tainted by the media, the tragedy of 9/11, and their country's horrible government, which ALL Persian people hate for ruining their beautiful country. Ever wonder why Persians don't call themselves "Iranians"? It's because they don't like to be affiliated with the Iranian government that ruined their country (and their reputations all over the world).
Persians are intelligent, beautiful, and successful people. Stop judging them so harshly and get to know them. You just might find find a friend for life if you do.

Over achievers. Originating from Iran and only Iran. Generally associated with wealth. Highly intelligent, disproportionately affluent and educated as a percentage of all ethnicities including Caucasian. Disproportionately residing in the most desirable and affluent regions in the U.S and Canada. Although Beverly hills consists of over 1/4 Persians, West Vancouver in Canada, with an average house price of 2.6 million consists of over 28% Persians. Encountering jealousy and envy on a daily basis.
Those rich asshole Persians bought the mansion next door. I saw some rich asshole Persian kid driving a Phantom down the street the other day. A 27 year old Persian physicist was awarded full proffesorship at Harvard,MIT,Oxford,UOFT,Stanford ect ect.

A word made up by a Persian Rap group called Farez
Basically a Persian with Persianality is a true Persian PIMP. someone who doesn't let a single opportunity go by
they do all they can to make it to the top and live the good life
you can see a lot of people with Persianality living in the mansions of Beverly Hills, driving S class Mercedes, Murcielagos, and Ferraris, and fucking a different hole each night

I wish I had some Persianality in my blood. That way I would be pimping in a Ferrari with 5 holes instead of cleaning toilets at McDonald's for 6 bucks an hour.
Person 1: Yo man... do u know why most Persians we see are living the good life.
Person 2: It's 'cause they've got Persionality.
Person 1: What the fuck is that?
Person 2: It's a trait seen in Persian and ONLY Persians. Persians with Persianality work hard and use their brains to make it to the top and when they're there they keep on doing what they've been doing to keep themselves there.

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.

Lots of Persians who immigrate to new countries start out working in small businesses and often times, they start from scratch. They quickly work their way up. Persians are very hard working people.
