Many Iranians call themselves Persians, much of Iran was Zoroastrian and did not follow Muhammad (Islam) until recently (-/+900 yrs).

Iranians are not Semitic. This term has true meaning only in a linguistic sense. Arabic, Hebrew, and Aramaic (together with some dead languages like Nabatean and Sabean) are Semitic languages that are similar linguistically.

Farsi is an Indo-Iranian language, a grouping that includes Kurdish, Romani, and Sinhalese.

Not white, either Asian or African.

Middle eastern isn't a race

Not white.

Much but not all of the Middle East is in Asia, but Middle Easterners are not considered Asian.

I thought they were Asian

Race is not much of a factor to middle eastern people. Dark skinned people and fair skinned people constantly intermix and marry in Middle Eastern countries.

Case in point: President Sadat of Egypt, who was part of the Nubian black minority, and his second wife, who was half German I think.

Not in my book.

Muslim Middle Easterners are Muslim and white. They do not fall into the “brown” category because of their religion.

Jews are also subject to harassment/discrimination but are not ‘brown’ because of it. They are still considered white.
