As an American married to a Persian woman, this is hilarious. The up and down look, the way the older Persian guy bails as soon as he see it's Persian Bachelorette. So very well done. The mom comes with her son. First time I ever went out with my wife for dinner, I expected it to be me and her. It was...me and her...and her two sisters, their boyfriends, and her two nieces. Beautiful, kind, generous people...but, like so many of the finer things...it's an acquired taste. Love your work Tara.

[@SimplySaamPilot]

This is too funny because I'm an Iranian guy who married to an American girl just so I don't have to deal with this stuff :)

[@RA-gg4pj]

Lol when he called her Arab. Thats every persian persons reaction😂😂😂

[@Nour-yb3ji]

R A I am an arab girl and if someone thought that i am persian i will never be offended because we are all middle easterners the woman in the video is very racist

[@Arbnvbe]

Nuru arabs does not equal middle eastern. I’m Arab and I’m not middle eastern

[@MiddleEasternGuy]

Nuru Lol first of all it’s a comedy skit. It’s to be taken lightly and is a fairly accurate (albeit exaggerated a bit here for comedic effect) portrayal of a typical Persian’s reaction to being called/mistaken for Arab. It’s not so much about as disliking them than it is the fact to be mistaken *as being* them. Identity is a point of pride in Iranian culture. Secondly, it’s not fair to say an Arab is a Persian or a Persian an Arab. Yes, they can be from the same geographic area, but the Middle East itself is arguably perhaps even more diverse than Europe in terms of ethnic makeup. Does racism exist in Persian communities? Certainly. Does it exist in Arab communities? Absolutely. That does not mean the majority hold feelings of ill will toward the other.

[@Aylin79]

@@Nour-yb3ji Hi dear, I also origin from Iran as part of middle-east. Please don't take offence of what this girl said as it relates to historical tensions between Persia and Arab speaking nations over centuries. Iranians think the reason of ancient Persian civillization downgrading is Arab tribes attacking Persia (not fully based on truth) which shouldn't be apppied in social interactions, but unfortunately some Iranian people are used to such a negative attitude.

"Oh, is this Persian Bachelorette? Hosele daaree? Veleshkon." God, I died.

[@RoxieEE]

@Victoria Nageily , I'd wanted to reply to Spetsnaz Kitten, before, that people who don't speak farsi are really missing out, there, 'cause the translation doesn't begin to do it justice - as you're now proving. I'd translate the, "Oh-ho, hosele daaree? Veleshkon," as, "Yeah, like you have the patience and energy for this? Forget it." A reference to high maintenance, Persian women. (We don't mind being called high maintenance. We know we're worth the maintenance.)
