Maz Jobrani on the Show 24

[PersianAustralian]

Shit. I accidently rated this....I accidently rate it two stars. Sorry about that.

[rbatheNORSEMAN]

@PersianAustralian I don't know how to ask you this, and trying not to sound like a troll/spammer/whatever.. but, ethnically Persians/Iranians are white compared to Middle Easterners.. and the top ethnic group in Iran are Persians, right? Are Persians generally kind of tan-skinned unlike Arabs who are, imo, darker-skinned? Sorry, I don't mean any offense I'm just trying to learn about Middle Eastern people.

[PersianAustralian]

@rbatheNORSEMAN I'm not offended...but I appreciate you taking care. :) I'm a little afraid to answer the question because I might start an argument about race and colour and also about the terms 'Persian' and 'Iranian' and I don't want to do either, and plus I can't give you a very sure answer. I'm olive/tan skinned myself and most other Persian people I know are similar in complexion but I also know some very dark skinned Persians and very fair skinned Persians. If you haven't already...

[rbatheNORSEMAN]

@PersianAustralian Right. Well, I'm sure the darker ones are probably mixed with Arab or something. Hell, I don't know. But Iranians are kinda Indo-Europeans, right? So you guys are basically like the French, Greek, Italians, Portuguese, and Spanish when it comes to complexion? As in, someone usually from Britain or Scandinavia are probably likely to be pale, generally. No what I'm trying to say? My bro, who is my half brother, is French and he could pass for Mexican because he has olive skin.

@rbatheNORSEMAN ...check out the Wikipedia page about Persian people (the whole ethnolinguistic group). It comes up as error when I add the link, so if you Google 'Persian people' it's the first page listed. I know people complain about Wikipedia because anybody can edit it but there's quite a bit in the page and it's pretty decent I think.

[rbatheNORSEMAN]

@PersianAustralian Yeah, I will. So I guess I was wrong about the Indo-European thing? Ah well, I don't care. haha

[Xavier21358]

Well, you know, sometimes not all of them are like that, you know, sometimes they are different, you can't just class them as honor killers, you know.

[JihadKiller1s1k]

[TheEqualiser00]

Good to see that Maz draws a line somewhere and is trying to fight the good fight. The media has been twisting things for the neocon war agenda.

[crazygirl1990]

[MrAnswer]

There has never been any sort of honour killings in Iran, he is 100% right.

[mojo9Y7OsXKT]

My mother once threaten to kill herself if we didn't behave. I guess that doesnt count!

[MrAnswer]

Haha, that sounds like a typical Persian mother.
