I worked for a mixed family in Houston for a few years. He was Persian, she was American. He was one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met, she was a sweetheart & their surprise twin daughters were adorable. When he wasn’t cracking jokes he taught me some important realities about what the world has learned from Persia. It was eye opening. I still think of them & hope they’re as happy now as they were then!!

@@alialahmad4329 I think you're thinking of the Turks and the Kurds... They don't get along. Persians are pretty chill despite what the media says, so they get along with many cultures. History tells us that the Persians were very good at diplomacy and treated cultures they assimilated into their empire well. In fact, some groups became so well-treated that they rose to very high positions in the empire and practically ran the empire but as Persians, not seeking to turn the empire into their own or destroy it from within.

@@LettuceBunnies The thing is that it's the perspective of a colonized mind. Whether it is Iran or India or even minorities in the U.S, we're colonized minds. We are told that we're less than because we're not the dominant ruling class and so we've internalized that message. I used to be so ashamed of being Muslim as a kid. OMG, I never claimed it. Being Indian, most people assumed I was Hindu and if they asked about religion, I told them that I don't discuss religion or politics with people. Now, as an adult, I'm unapologetically and unabashedly Muslim. That's a part of me and a part that has given me my moral compass and has made me into a kind, compassionate human being so why would I hide it or be ashamed of a significant part of me.

@@St.Finger Honestly I don't know about the accuracy, but what's beautiful about Persian Calendar, is that it's a solar calendar. Meaning the first day of the new year (Noruz) is the first day of the first month of the first season of the year. So first day of spring is when the year starts. Everything is beautiful, fresh and new, and each season is exactly 3 complete months.

I'm 100% Sicilian--my father's side came over a couple generations earlier, but my mother emigrated. It wasn't until I traveled to Italy to meet the family there, that I discovered that Saint days (or name days) were a thing, and celebrated like birthdays! So you had two celebrations a year--one for your birthday and another for your "onomastico", or the Saint day of the saint you were named for. St. Joseph's day even comes with it's own pastry and pasta dish! I get it--kinda feel like I'm owed a few back celebrations too! ;) And speaking of which, btw, Happy Birthday!

I got to know some Persians over the past four years and I love hanging out with them and learning Farsi to be able to connect with them. They get surprised each time we meet as I use a new Farsi word and jokingly ask me if I am actually not Persian, and I jokingly tell them I am actually from Ishfahan (a city in Iran which has beautiful Persian architecture and that I'd love to visit). They get a good laugh out of that! They loved sharing their food with me (generously!) and of course, Persian food is one of the things we love to discuss at each meeting (and I love to learn about).

Halfie here too. I grew up in Dearborn, Michigan... which has a SUPER HIGH number of Persians, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Copts and Arab Egyptians, etc., Like every Middle Eastern person I grew up with is just like you. Nearly indistinguishable from "Regular White". My hardest thing in life, as a half-Ukrainian with a mom so white she's basically see-through, is even being recognized as North African (Egyptian), at all.

@@kvoncomedyhey K.von I am so excited to meet you here in Calgary😊 By the way, as my BA is Translation & I have no doubt your book will be loved by most Iranians, I wonder if it is possible to translate it info Farsi? It would be a great chance for everybody to learn of your adventures and look at their own culture from a different point of view. What do you think?
