Hi,

I want to say how I got indoctrinated into hating Indians, people of color, and other races. Despite being a person of color. You don’t need to be a European to be ignorant. Minorities are also prejudiced to others in the name of whiteness.

a) Fear of unacceptable and bullying as a kid, I was made to feel I am “inferior” by years of indoctrination in subtle ways. I started to believe “I don’t matter.”

b) Mean people in the U.S.A.. Of course I live in the south, so during my work experience Ive met some really hard headed and racist “Christians.”

c) Even though I have no hate in my heart for others based on color, corporate is really anti color. For example, a white person can promote whiteness by simply talking about stuff whites do… whites have wealth to go sky diving , outdoors, three day vacations, and more. As a poor person, I cant relate

d) White people are the majority. We’re never going to win against them if we become enemies based on politics or race. I don’t buy into politics. It’s hard, cause white people at work love gas lighting me.

e) The ideal image is white, christian, and “angelic”. I know even if i am on my best behavior, whites still wont trust me cause of my nationality

The darker you are, your experiences are more racist. I cant speak for all peoples but when i consider how skin color affects perception, I see and hear stories of black and darker skinned peoples be treated with more hostility than lighter skinned.

Internalized white supremacy also exists in Africa and India where actresses bleach their skin.

Power, economics, and money / wealth play a role into why people want whiteness. For example: Better jobs, given better opportunity, etc. So when society is anti color, minorities also want whiteness by virtue of needing it to survive. Thats how systematic racism works; you make it to where perception dominates treatment as opposed to actually getting to know someone.

I might get banned but are there any gay persian dudes here? Low key just want someone in the same shoes as me to talk to:/

It seems like they're the only one? Except for like, the whole Syria thing.

So, I'm a 22 year old persian girl and I have been seeing my boyfriend for 4 months now and we are so in love and I just know he is my future husband. He is educated and so respectful, there is nothing bad about him. But since the beginning when I try to tell my mom about how I want to be dating him, she is kind of dismissive about it and tells me that we should be friends and kinda telling me that I don't know what I'm really talking about. And it's just frustrating because I am 22 and it's like I can't even make my own decisions about my love life. And I understand that it is possibly because she is protective and persian and such, but also my dad is way more chill about it and is more accepting about it and doesn't tell me what to do with my love life as of with her she does. usually you would think that dad is going to be less accepting about it but it’s the other way around and they are both Persian. Is there anything anyone can tell me that can make me feel better about this and how to deal with it. I just tell her we are friends so that I don’t have to deal with anything that she has to say about it.

I want a deep explanation of how modern linguists and scientists can know this since language is always evolving in sound.

Look at the history

Zoroaster

Jewish exiles

Islam

Babi Faith

Bahai Faith

We are superior to other cultures and are gifted beyond understanding. It’s up-to Iran to save the world from darkness, but first we must work on ourselves.

Why God sends Messengers to Iran?

Maybe cause we have direct lineage to entity beyond our understanding. Just my personal opinion!

True Persians, UNITE

is it like arabic where dialects are complete different or can you guys have causal conversations?

I dunno that much about old words unfortunately....

What is your favorite 3D Prince of Persia video game ?

Translation help, for a rug that my phone won’t let me copy. Anyone know what this says? I felt drawn to it. (Credit: from Drew Binsky’s YouTube doc visiting Iran. Artist unknown)

I've been dating a Persian man. So far he's proven to be a really good liar, the type where you have the proof but he still talks you out of it.. sexist... Talks about himself all day. I've caught him doing a lot. Is this normal Persian behaviour?

I am half Persian and half Sicilian. I got a symbol of Sicily on my left arm and just got the symbol of Persia on my right arm.

Hi all - a close relative passed away.

I remember something along the lines of:

Sadia, mard e nik o nam namirad…

I can’t remember the rest. Can anyone help find it for me and tell me who it is by and how to write it please?

I have the same painting and i could never figure out what's written, can anyone translate it into English? (The picture is taken from an ebay seller)

can someone share any resource (any book, app, or online dictionary) i can use to translate old persian poetry into english. i don't speak persian, however it shares similarity with urdu (the language i speak) so i can understand certain words. i recently got interested in persian poetry and would love to understand it better

I remember watching this MV in Nima TV in the late 2000s, but I can’t read or type Farsi. It was a female artist and a huge cast of male dancers in ancient Egyptian attire. I know this is a long shot, but I figured I’d give it a try. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Is this phrase used to any extent instead of tavalodet mobarak, and would the use of it be seen as political? How normal is it with expats/diaspora for example? I've understood this phrase is more of old persian instead of arabic.

Following is a door that I saw in a museum, English translation of the Persian prayer scribed on the door reads "Open the door of happiness for the owner of this door, opener of doors", can somebody tell me the Persian text of it?

Like song or something.

Hello all,

I was looking for Persian singers or songs that are similar to the style and strong voice of Reza Bahram Divaneh and Ehaam Dard? Please share Persian songs that are similar to these songs?
