Even from a racist perspective that's completely wrong; Iranians are white, the name "Iran" literally means "Land of the Aryans".
- breppp 7mo ago> Iranians are white, the name "Iran" literally means "Land of the Aryans". The Indians were also Aryan according to race theories. I wouldn't put much sense into racism
- srean 7mo agoLeaving the 'aryan' and 'white' bit aside there are mountains of things that are common between Indians and Iranians -- the system of classical music, musical instruments, mythological characters, food, and of course language.
