#Iranians are PERSIAN not ARABS.
This toot was sponsored by my Iranian Canadian photographer friend - who is tired of people not knowing who #Persians are & ignorant of their ancient, ancestral & cultural histories.

Sorry - I forgot to add -> My friend says he has never spoken Arabic but understands some of it from learning from Arabs who were displaced from nearby countries. He told me that Persians speak Farsi. Many are also educated on speaking & reading English.

#MiddleEast #GlobalSouth #Cultures #Iran

minor additional irritation, way too many of the people who don't/won't know this go ON about their devotion to ancient Greek and Roman history

I mean, we were pretty sure they weren't reading carefully anyway

@clew I promised my friend that I'd honour his request to do a #PSA post about Iranians being Persian. I don't break promises 💗
