Why do iranians call themselves persian?

>>74790650
Not all of them do. Persians are one of many ethnic groups inhabiting Iran, although they do form the majority.

The irony is that the country was named Iran because that was what the natives called the country and that name predates Islam, whereas Persia comes from Greek.

But Iranian diaspora probably uses Persian so that they won't be associated with the Islamic regime of Iran.

What's wrong with this?

>Why do trannies call themselves Persians
Let me read that again. I've been on 4chan too long.

"persian" is an ethnic group. "iranian" is a broad term applying to anyone living in iran iirc.

>>74790650
They don't call themselves Persian, it's what Europeans called them until 1935, learn history.

Persians were one of the many Iranic-speaking people of ancient Iran. Persian language consumed all other Iranic languages after Islamic invasions, they saw it as some sort of consolidational thing that won't let them assimilate with Arabs like most of Middle-East did.

And yeah, Iran is modern form of the word "Aryan" in modern Persian language.

islam was a mistake

>>74790650
I've met a few Iranians, and it's always the self-hating cucks who "identify as Persian" ("NOT Iranian anon") because they want to appeal to the big strong westerners

>>74814377
So they are literally saying they are not Aryans, very pathetic

>>74814109

Ashura is an butthurt indian living in canada who got cucked by his iranian gf and cant stop badmouthing iran on /int/ since then. Every time you see a canadian being butthurt in an iran thread you can be assured that this person is Ashura.
