and most of them are persians too.
you're using english as an example which is great actually. The definition is British since their from Great Britain. But someone english will call themselves english.
Now Great Britain has England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales but Iran is just Iran.
there are many reasons why persians like to refers to themselves as such. 1. iran = death, terrorism, evil, slow internet, spam mail and all shit bad while persian is more neutral.
2. They want to show that they are not turks, kurds or arabs but indeed persians.
In Iran the butt of many jokes are kurd, arabs and turks. "They" look upon these people as inferior people.
A couple of years after the famous "islam pictures" from denmark surfaced one of irans biggest newspaper published pictures of azeris. The cartoons were similar to the ones the Nazi's had of the jews. It compared azeris to cockroaches and had text about how stupid the people are and tips on how to kill them.
This also leads to lots of turks, kurds and arabs denying what they are and claim to be persians.
maybe we should take this in mayberry? lots of posts, no chicks makes sherdoggers mad.
