[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do Iranians not feel accepted as Caucasian in the USA? How do you classify if not as White? What do you choose as your race? Do White Americans exclude other Caucasian groups?[/quote]

Well my father-in-law who is Iranian always instructed his three children to state that they were caucasian if anyone asked. And he himself also would say he was caucasian. But he was a fairly dark complected Iranian who looked every bit Iranian. I don't think anyone bought that he was caucasian or white. And I certainly doubt the  blue eyed, blonde haired farmer whose ancestors are from Sweden and Denmark in middle America would buy it either! I get that phenotype and genotype are two completely different things. One can have ethnic features but their DNA could show they have some evidence of caucasian genes. But I would be interested in hearing what Iranians have to say.[/quote]

This is so interesting. Do some Iranians classify or choose Bi-racial? or Asian?  If not White and I suppose not Black either. Would you say non-White Caucasian is an ok term to use?[/quote]
