 Why does Juicy keep referring to himself as Persian? 
		
		
		Persian Empire ceased to be LOOOONG time ago. 
	Juicy is Iranian. Why does he seem so confused about it?  | 
		
 Read this  
	Persians are the main ethnic group of Iran and are the majority and dominant ethnic group of Iran. They also inhabit in neighboring countries particularly in Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. However, in these countries they are usually thought of as a sub-group and are referred to as Tajiks. Significant numbers of Persians also reside outside of these countries, with the largest communities found in the United States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_people  | 
		
 It must be his medicine cabinet? :-)

 From wiki... 
	The Persians are an Iranic ethnic group who speak the Persian language and share a common culture and history. Persians are the main ethnic group of Iran and are the majority and dominant ethnic group of Iran The term Persia was adopted by all western languages through the Greeks and was used as an official name for Iran by the West until 1935. Due to that label, all Iranians were considered Persian. Therefore, many Western sources, when regarding Iran's history, will label many non-Persian Iranians as Persians, which distinguishes nationality, not necessarily the Persian ethnic group. Also, many others who embraced the Persian language and culture are also often referred to as Persian, not necessarily meaning ethnic group, but rather as a part of Persian civilization (culturally and linguistically). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_people  |

 Well, it's pretty much hair splitting if persian is just persian or iranian as well...but nowadays, having arab roots is probably hard enough. I wonder when they get anal probes at airports ;)

 iranians/persians dont have arab roots.  | 
		
 Don't call a persian an arab. They have been fighting for centuries and it's like calling an irishman an englishman.

 Ok, excuse my rudimentary knowledge about persian history...unfortunately I think I'm not alone with this mix-up
