According to outdated race classifications, Iranians (Persians) are Aryans — just as Europeans “whites” are. Meanwhile, most Israelis are Semites. Harper (an Aryan) is being accused of racism by an Aryan, for taking actions that favour Semites. Somehow, in today's twisted world, this is supposed to make sense.

No, I mean Iranian being a race separate and unto itself.

If anything, Canada is being nationalist. It’s only racism if you are discriminating against a particular race and last I heard, “Iranian” was not a race.

Europeans are not “Aryans” unless you wanna go by Hitler’s definition of Aryan, which is very different to the Iranian one.

Iranian is a nationality, with many Iranic races falling into that broad nationality. Iranic relates to both race and ethnic/native language/dialects spoken by Kurds, Persians, Balouchis, those from northern provinces of Iran around the Caspian Sea, and many others ethnic grps in Iran.

Btw, Arabs who mostly hate the existence of Israel as a nation state, the middle-eastern Jews and Israelis are also Semites!

Though I agree that today’s world is very much twisted.
