    Hah. No, they’re not Arab and they don’t speak Arabic. Iran was actually very progressive until the Revolution of 1979.

      I like to imagine, as a Canadian, that people from other cultures look at the British as “luxury whites”. Or maybe the French.

        Not sure that anyone except americans is really all that obsessed with skin colour. But French often prtrayed as luxury europeans and modern japanese as sci-fi asians.

          No, racial inequality happens everywhere to varying degrees, and it is usually tied to skin colour. South Africa for example.

            Race is not as important in my corner, sure there is racism, but the blackest man that is your contryman is better than whitest aryan looking dude that is your nations historical rival/enemy as far as I can tell. Asian countries (which i visited) are noticeable more racist, but they are separated more by religion it looks like. What I’m trying to say skin color is secondary at best.

          And I feel like they do that because they feel like they’re just too good for those letters, but they leave them in the spelling of those words just to let everybody else know that they are fancier than the rest of us.
