I don't like what she did, and I don't like our "callout culture" either. Lose, lose.

Ironic how white immigrants feel like they're more American than American soldiers of Asian descent.

they have a real superiority complex. They see themselves as superior to all other people, especially Arabs. Iranians don't like being mistaken for Arabs, and are very vocal about their disdain for them.

And for everyone else, evidently...

I figured she might be Persian or Afghan. Every group has its share of racists, and Iranians are not exempt. Sadly, she's one of those Persians who considers this to be more her country than certain other immigrants because she's "white."
