Probably because "Iranian" comes with certain connotations that "Persian" does not.

The Persian empire covered an area bigger than present day Iran. If they couldn't get past saying "Iranian" they could just say Middle Eastern, especially since most of the people doing it probably couldn't differentiate where one comes from in the Middle East by their appearance anyhow.





On another tangent I read a scientific article once (or maybe it was a video I can't remember which anymore) that was studying peoples appearances and it came to the conclusion that people of mixed heritages and wider more various genetic backgrounds tend to have a better chance of being attractive than somebody that has a narrower genetic background. Seeing Briana list what her background is makes me wonder think about that now.

I know. I was just paraphrasing a joke I once heard Omid Djalili tell.

I always thought white - specifically Southern European - Mediterranean (Spanish, Italian or even Greek).

Then you were pretty much spot on babe.

No, because Iraq is Middle Eastern, but is NOT Persian! It's absolutely ok to say someone looks Persian. It's a whole area. It's like saying someone looks Asian, black or white. In Iran they still speak Persian!

Question: Does Italian NOT count as Caucasian?
I thought it did.

Now I'm wondering if Celtic, Teutonic, Slavic, Gallic or Hellenic counts as Caucasian...

Italian is Caucasian, isn't it?

Now that you say it, I can see the Chinese ever so slightly in the eyes and vague hints in the face.

YES, Italian is white.


As far as you asked, it is much more complex issue, bro.
