Interesting. I always thought the answer would be a simple yet culturally complex one. Actually, people know the other terms better everywhere outside of L.A. I'm assuming you live somewhere close to there. If you say Persian here you will get a quick "WTF ?!?!" reply. But I know for a fact we are less judgemental about where people are from here, so that might be a reason.
