1. This whole thing is just sad.

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

2. Those were some pretty ugly gestures she flashed at him

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

3. As admirable as the Iranian people are in general,

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...

4. Maybe they ought to ditch the Arabic alphabet

5. Just as soon as we ditch the Roman alphabet.

6. Exactly

8. You speak the simple truth!

7. Totally ridiculous and sad.

9. Is she wypipo? Or what?

10. As soon as I heard her accent and that she was from Fremont

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."
