fascinating. It is amazing the things I have learned in my short time "freeping". I actually had heard before that it is extremely insulting to Iranian people to call them Arabs, but I didn't know you could tell them apart just by their appearance.

I wish I could call Ahmanpour an Arab to her face, then.

Also, it is extremely insulting to call non-African-Americans, "African-Americans", as Paul Begala called Colin Powell (NY born from Jamaican parents) in his earth-shattering interview with .... Chris Rock.

It's kind of like mixing up Koreans and Japanese. They hate when that happens.

Iranians are Persian and speak Farsi, not Arabs, and not speaking Arabic.
