Just to be clear, and maybe I'm reading your question wrong, but are you saying you consider ancient Romans to be "white" but ancient Persians to be something other than "white"?

  Well, I don't have any photographs of their ancient ancestors, but here's a picture of the Iranian President meeting with the Italian President: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-europe-35397885 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-euro... I don't know about you, but I don't see a striking difference in their skin tone. I'm guessing that the grandfather poster was really trying to say something about culture rather than pigment.

    Are you American? That's not how whiteness works in my experience

      If we go down this path too far, you're going to get a shock when you read the wiki page on "Aryan" for the first time.

I don't consider anyone to be different in those ways but I never learned about Persian philosophy or history in any class.
