vancouviranians

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.

Sam: "Wow there are a lot of Persians living in Vancouver now..."

Paul: "I know man, they call themselves Vancouviranians"

Sam: "Can they be stopped?"

Paul: "Nothing can stop the Vancouviranians..."
