Why do these call themselves "persian"? That's the same as scandis calling themselves vikings, italians calling themselves romans, are iranians literally WE WUZ the people?
Do they call themselves persian in a pathetic attempt to distinguish themselves from their islamic brothers? The persian empire is since long gone, LOL.
Not all of them do. Persians are one of many ethnic groups inhabiting Iran, although they do form the majority.

The irony is that the country was named Iran because that was what the natives called the country and that name predates Islam, whereas Persia comes from Greek.
But Iranian diaspora probably uses Persian so that they won't be associated with the Islamic regime of Iran.

ah, i see. but why do they never post on Sup Forums? Their govt blocked the internet or what?
>Why do trannies call themselves Persians Let me read that again. I've been on Sup Forums too long.

"persian" is an ethnic group. "iranian" is a broad term applying to anyone living in iran iirc.

They don't call themselves Persian, it's what Europeans called them until 1935, learn history.
Persians were one of the many Iranic-speaking people of ancient Iran. Persian language consumed all other Iranic languages after Islamic invasions, they saw it as some sort of consolidational thing that won't let them assimilate with Arabs like most of Middle-East did.
And yeah, Iran is modern form of the word "Aryan" in modern Persian language.

I've met a few Iranians, and it's always the self-hating cucks who "identify as Persian" ("NOT Iranian user") because they want to appeal to the big strong westerners
Jason Morales
So they are literally saying they are not Aryans, very pathetic

Ashura is an butthurt indian living in canada who got cucked by his iranian gf and cant stop badmouthing iran on Sup Forums since then. Every time you see a canadian being butthurt in an iran thread you can be assured that this person is Ashura.
