>minority
>fucktons
There, you answered to your own question.

fuckton =/= majority of a population which Indians/pakis are definitely not regardless of /pol/ memes.

>>2722266

Cuz they are not a minority in the UK.

No idea

Arian /Eranshah/Eranmehr = how they call themselves
Parsa/Parsis/Persian = how Greeks call them

>>2722257
strictly speaking about 60% of the population in Iran is persian
the rest are minorities, mostly kurds who aren't exactly persian, but close

Because of four people
>Persians
Who founded the idea of the Persianate state that every Iranic-based entity attempted to copy.
>Greeks and Romans
Who simply called it Persia.
>Iranian Diaspora
Who are so butthurt about Islam, they want everyone to know that "I AM PERSIAN, NOT EYE-RANIAN."

Shut the fuck up, bitch.

Because also Persians are distinctive ethnic group vs other Iranian/Iranic people who have their own languages?

Kurds are Iranian too, but that doesn't make them the same as Persians. Same with Gilakis, Balochis, etc..
