WINGMAN NEEDED

[Beep_Boop]

Just to state a fact here, Persians are not middle eastern, they are Caucasian (white) people.

Wait wait.. so since you're saying Persians are not Middle Eastern but are Caucasian (which is true for most inhabitants of modern day Iran), then you're basically saying that Middle Eastern is a race, which id definitely isn't.

Ashkenazi Jews in Israel are Middle Easterners, but they're absolutely racially and ethnically different from Saudi Arabians who are also Middle Easterners. Same goes for Northern Levantiners (also Middle Eastern) who are Semites with a lot of mixing with Caucasians and are racially and ethnically different from Egyptians who are Middle Easterners.

Look, if you want to jump with your "facts" to correct other people, make sure you get your own facts straight first.

U know that Persia is today called Iran dont you?

That doesn't change the correctness of his statement. Modern day Iranians are indeed racially Caucasians, which caused the whole Aryan confusion in the 19th century. Here's some reading material on that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan_race

Man, this is the most effed up thing I read on a Monday morning. Seriously, WTF?

Let me rephrase for everyone: Rex Class is a white guy from England, ok. Regarding Persians as a race, there is no one-size fit all characteristic that defines them, and I do not consider myself qualified to judge them because I have never been to Iran and I do not know many Persians here. Also, as far as I am know Rex Class is not a Persian name , so I will not spend anymore energy on analysis-raging this post. Kiitos

Yup, completely out of it.

Well, aren't you a clever little boy for realising that "Class Rex" isn't a Persian name? No it's not, it's from the Latin language, but my name's "Darius Aria-Pour". I'm sorry, I was unaware that I should've used my real name in a forum! Perhaps I should create a new account and also include my social security number right next to it in order to avoid confusions and misconceptions? Weirdo!

F.Y.I. Persia A.K.A. Iran is one of the oldest nations in the world which became known as "Persia" merely because the first Iranian tribe the Greeks went to war with were the "Persians". Same goes vice versa as the first Greek tribe the Iranians went to war with were the "Ionians" hence in the Persian language we refer to them as "Yunanian".

Iranian ethnicities branches out into various Aryan tribes, primarily the Persians & Kurds. Even the name "Iran" means "Land of the Aryans", deriving from "Iran-Shahr" (Meaning Aryan-Shire).

On the 21st March 1935 (Norouz/Persian New Year), "Reza Pahlavi" the founder of the Pahlavi dynasty announced to foreign delegates to begin referring to "Persia" by its native name of "Iran", however both "Persia" as well as "Iran" are 100% officially the correct names, and both be used to refer to this nation.

Also the language we speak in Iran is "Persian" NOT "Farsi", and the Persian word for "Persian" is "Parsi".

During the Arab invasion as they were forcing Islam down our throats, because of the very fact that "P / G / Ch / Zh" sounds are absent in Arabic but present in Persian, they began referring to "Sepahan" (Meaning Guardians) as "Isfahan", "Azar-Paigan" (Meaning Fire Archive) as "Azerbaijan", "Parsi" (Meaning Persian) as "Farsi".

The *CORRECT* English word is "Persian". Again, the prefix derives from Greek, and the suffix as an English closure of the word, and thus "Perse + ian = Persian".

To say "I Speak Farsi" (Or Even Parsi), is as if a Frenchman says "I Speak Le Français" whilst speak English, rather than saying "I Speak French".

Down with Islam, long live Zoroastrianism, and may the blessings of "Ahura Mazda" (Sun God of Persia) be upon you all.

You don't need a wingman.

Just explain all that and the gates of Babylon will tumble open.

I think this explains why you need a wingman in the 1st place.

It's so sad when you see someone desperately trying to validate themselves. The whole clarification about the Middle East, Persia and Iran is of no interest to people here. To conclude everything with a cheer for your religion, moots any point you were trying to make. I wonder, was it from there you learned about "entering a girl's gate of Bablyon"! You made a very bad impression with this tasteless and misogynistic thread.

[Random Dude]

Yea Man, How dare you refer to Female genitalia as "the babylonian gates" and try to be funny and humorous on the INTERNET???

This offends me as a Feminist, Vegan, athiest who crossfits 4 times a week and oh yea! I also Vape and as I identify myself as a Pastafarian apache helicopter dog mega multi combo god of hyper death and if you do not agree with me then you are an ignorant, arrogant, globaphopic, misogynist, sexist.

That will also go over big as a pickup line.

Keep 'em coming, guys. It improves the odds. For all the rest of us, I mean.

See, the thing is, he wasn't referring to it humorously initially. He was being serious, but changed his position after being attacked for being an idiot.

Also, it's easy for you to defend him when clearly his comments weren't directed at, or talking about, you or other men.

The fact that you insist on viewing it as humor shows that you're privileged and have no idea what sexual harassment feels like.

Everybody deserves respect. Saying "I hear their pussies calling out to me " in reference to women in bars is not respectful.
It is downright offensive and degrading.

Take a look around you.

[Random Dude]

Firstly, I appreciate you putting down your opinions politely and I really want to agree with you but you do not make it easy......

1. how can you know with absolute certainty that he was serious? People are different and they express things differently... his reference of women could clearly be him trying to give me and others a humorous prep talk for a night out where there is possibility of some action. and a lot of people go night-out for the exact same thing in their mind that he is refering, both man and women, Deal with it!

2. why should we take your idea of "everyone deserves respect" seriously when you gave that touch of "this isn't middle-east" when you first replied. I admit that you did edit it out and apologised but it still goes on to show how people may oversay things in anger (in your case) and excitement (perhaps in his case).

3. sure women go through alot of harrasment but to assume that there are guys who haven't faced harrasment is just plain stupid!

I am not writing this only to defend him... it is just annoying when people look out for simplest of excuse to get offended.Lastly, maybe just maybe if you try not to take things so seriously on the internet then you might be better off.

@Random Dude, for something that is supposed to be right, it shouldn't require all this justification. Love how you stick to your new friend, he's lucky to have you as his wingman. At least you make more sense than him.

Try not to take things so seriously? This kind of behaviour and attitude are the exact things that lead to rape culture.

I lived in a Middle Eastern country too and this kind of !"#¤% is prevalent there. It's absolutely disgusting.
That is also, by the way, why I said "this isn't the Middle East" in my first post on this thread. Not just regarding Class Rex's ethnicity.

You saying that I shouldn't take offense in this kind of behaviour is like saying that sexual harassment is perfectly acceptable.

As daly said above me,

@Random Dude, for something that is supposed to be right, it shouldn't require all this justification.

[AldenG]

It all speaks for itself, doesn't it.

[daly]

EXCUSE ME?!?! "RAPE CULTURE"...?!?! You are the most pathetic, stupid, and obnoxious prick I've ever come across in a forum. Tis' as if I was to respond to you and say that the way you speak leads to "Murder Culture"!

HOW F###ING DARE YOU?!?! I'm reporting you for your insulting and pathetic accusations you pathetic little buffoon!

"Rape Culture"! F***ing clown!

You gotta admire the poetic side in his idiotic personality with the use of "Tis". I bet he heard it somewhere and thought; let me use it everywhere, in an attempt to sound more intelligent.
