An ethnicity making up around 60% of Iranians, and majority of Afghanistan and Tajikistan. Unlike how most Iranian Americans say, they claim that Iran is a persian nation, which is partially true, but using the terms persian and Iranian interchangeably is very ignorant. Persians are an Iranic race, so are Kurds, Gilaks, etc. Iran refers to a nation, so if you use iranian and persian interchangeably, you completely exclude all other Persians. Persian is a very different language then Azeri, Gilaki, Kurdish, etc. One thing to note is how people say Iran is not an arab nation, which is mostly true, however 1-4% of Iranians are arab.
Iranian American: “Yeah Iran isn’t arab, we’re persian. The words persian and Iranian are interchangeable”
Me: “only 60% of Iranians are persian! I’m not persian I’m Gilaki and Azari, and you completely forget the Persians of Afghanistan, Tajikistan and the ones in Uzbekistan, you are confusing nationality and ethnicity”
Someone who is too chicken to call himself Iranian.
person1: that's an interesting accent...where are you from?
person2: I'm Persian!
person1: Didn't you guys like take few of our Americans as hostages?
person2: oh no, dumbass those were Iranians. I am Persian like the kitty cat(makes a 'meowww' sound) or the rug...
person1: oh k whatever..

A nicer way to say Iranian. Used by those who are afraid of what others might think of their culture. It would be like a Syrian calling him/herself Phoenician or someone from the Czech Republic referring to their country as Czechoslovakia.
1) Even though I am or my family is from Iran, a middle-eastern country, I'm going to hide my heritage by calling myself the less offensive and more exotic-sounding name of a dead empire that once controlled my present-day country. That way, ignorant, narrow-minded, uneducated fools won't judge me with bias and I can blend in with society. I'll let them hate on the Middle-Easterns that are proud of their countries instead.
2) You're Iranian, not Persian...unless you were born there before 1935...get over it...

Persian = An ethinic group (roughly 50% of the population) living in Iran.
Iran = (Literally) land of the Aryans = Persia after 1935
Aryan, literally means an excellent or honorable person;
One of a primitive people supposed to have lived in pre-historic times, in Central Asia, east of the Caspian Sea, and north of the Hindoo Koosh and Paropamisan Mountains, and to have been the stock from which sprang the Hindoo, Persian, Greek, Latin, Celtic, Teutonic, Slavonic, and other races; one of that ethnological division of mankind called also Indo-European or Indo-Germanic.
Indo-Aryan: A member of one of the native races of India of Aryan speech and blood, characterized by tall stature, dolichocephaly (long head), fair complexion with dark hair and eyes, plentiful beard, and narrow and prominent nose.

Notes: Many of the Nazi leaders (Goebbels, Himmler, Speers, Rommel, Goering, Hess, Frank, etc.) were themselves brunettes. On the other hand, many of the Jews that were persecuted were whiter-skinned than many of the Nazi leaders:
"... Nevertheless, such theorists usually accepted that considerable variety of hair and eye colour existed even within the racial categories they recognised. Contrary to a popular myth, the Nazis themselves did not discriminate against Aryans who were not blond or blue-eyed, or had only one of these features. Adolf Hitler and most Nazi officials (not to mention most Germans at the time) had dark hair and were considered to be Aryans."
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_race

A typical Persian in La (generally Beverly Hills) puts in great effort to seem rich but are in debt. Persian women are famous for nose jobs and dye their hair at least once in their life. They hate their body hair and will bitch behind your back. 50% ruin the culture by giving the reputation Ahmadenijad does. The other 50% aren't divorced and all have a life. Young girls usually don't find what they are until they turn 30.The men have hair everywhere except when they hit 30 and have none on top of their heads. They prefer fat girls working at a fast food place just because they are blonde rather than a successful Persian princess.
Persian Woman 1: 50% of Persians are bitches
Stupid Persian Lady with big mouth and ears: If you hate Persians so much, why do you shop here?
Persian Woman 1: I AM PERSIAN! YOU ARE THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO WRECKS OUR CULTURE! YOU ASSHOLE SHOULDN'T BE LISTENING TO OTHER PEOPLE'S CONVERSATIONS! CUNT!
