This is an interesting blog. I am NOT persian however my fiance is and I know a lot about iranian culture and the people. What I like about this blog is that you put proof and pictures on here and do not just say some comments without backing it up.

There is no denying that many Iranians in general have high levels of Nordic bloodlines. I have seen for myself some Iranians that I thought were French or Northern Italian. When they told me that they were Iranian I was a little shocked. Now that I am educated it does not surprise me anymore.

It is a joke to say that Iranians are afro arabs. This thinking in my country, the USA, is based on ignorance. Most people in the USA couldn't even point out on a map where Iran is located. In fact, if you mention Persia they will say "carpet" or "cat". Iranians belong to an ancient Indo European people. In the South you will find some Arabs but that does not make it an arab country. It would be like calling the USA a Chinese country since you will find Chinese people in some major cities. The USA is a European based country and Iran is an Indo European country.

It should be noted that many Iranians have a small amount of Mongrel blood just like some Americans have some Indian blood. I hope in the future I can read more of your blogs.

Oslonor:
Iranians usually refers to AzeriTurks. Persians are the native population of Iran or Persia. Not sure what you mean by mongrel. There are Uzbeks in Iran. Also some AzeriTurks have mongolian features. But this is not related to Persians.
