Iranians living in Vancouver. Once they move to Vancouver, they shed their FOB status by emulating their white peers.
That includes spiking their hair, getting frosted tips, wearing Basketball jerseys for teams they've never heard of, and changing their Persian names to more English-friendly monikers.

I met a great girl on the weekend. She's a Vancouverite. You could tell she's not from the East Coast. She had a real West Coast vibe.
I'm a vancouverite now, because Toronto was such a hurt city...
One's mentality even changes when you become a vancouverite...you stop acting like a wannabe NewYorker with gay clothes and all,and instead pick up something like kayaking...
