[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As another PP who is married to an Iranian, I'd like to know why you seem so ANGRY.  You seem to really have a chip on your shoulder towards the Iranian culture. Why do you care so much about what they call themselves??  Who cares!

I'm married to an Iranian, and I've certainly met Iranians of all types over the years.  I can honestly say that the vast majority of the Iranians I'm lucky to call my friends are some of the most highly educated, introspective and KIND people I've ever known. They're well-traveled, open to different cultures and religions, and full of life.  Every single one is disgusted over what's happened in their country politically.

For anyone who's interested in learning how Iran came to be in the situation it's in today, I highly recommend the book "All the Shah's Men".  http://www.amazon.com/All-Shahs-Men-American-Middle/dp/0471265179.  I also recommend a fantastic movie: "Peresepolis": http://www.sonyclassics.com/persepolis/

As far as the plastic surgery comments above, I'd just like to point out that the U.S. is by FAR the country with the highest rate of plastic surgery. Brazil follows.

23:23 here, I want to know because I want to be informed. There is a lot of incorrect information on the internet, so why not ask someone posting that is informed on this topic? I come from an area that people were either white or black and we were never taught that Asian meant more than simply Chinese. I want to teach my own children more about the world and its people. I would have simply classified all Iranians as White prior to this post had I not known that this is incorrect. When you come from being taught that anyone who is not black is white it helps to increase your knowledge on race. [/quote]
