3 WHITE GUYS 1,2,3 and one under 44!!!! in 400

[white sprinters running well] removes that image of black sprinters as being driven by talent but not working hard.

Then why can a couple hard-working white dudes beat them so easily?

Wariner is white. His parents are white. All the PC folks are horrified that two white dudes smoked the bros. Get over it.

Iranians are Persian. They aren't saying they are from Persia. Persian is an ethnicity. Iranians aren't Arab, they are Persian. Kind of like people from Egypt are Egyptian. There are tons of different ethnicities in the Middle East. Get your facts straight before you "spout wise".

"Then why can a couple hard-working white dudes beat them so easily"

Did it occur to you that the black 1/4 milers in that race and before worked just as hard, or that those white sprinters are also very talented?

wow another retard has surfaced...

the previous poster (the one you are flaming) has already pointed that out...

he just wants to know why persians call themselves persians as oppose to iranians...

iran is somewhat homogeneous compare to the u.s being multi-racial/ethic so your point is mute..

All of these posts are another reason why this website should be called LetsHate.com

Firstly, nice use of the Bold, jackass.

People from the United States of America, are called Americans because it is a shortening of the name of our country. I am not sure why the term American was settled on rather than United Statsians, maybe because American was what we called the country and United States is just a discriptor. Like The Peoples republic part the Peoples Republic of China. Or for that matter the Islamic Republic part of Islamic Republic of Iran. You see the begining part just describes the type of government for lack of a better word. A quick google search didn't yield an definitive answer though so I can't be sure.

Now I know that it gets a little confusing because both South America and and North America are collectively refered to as the Americas, so if one considers the droppping of the United states part in this light it may seem presumptious but my guess is at the time that term american became popular lexicon we weren't to worried about offending what we considered to be savages and now that we a somewhat more kind and gentle it has kind of stuck.

Of course let me remind you that this is just logical reasoning on my part and isn't meant to represent historical fact. I did no real research for this beyond a simple 30 second google search which as I menitoned before was fruitless.

So now are you going to answer my innocuous question reasonable are are you going to continue to act like and ass?

what is tyler christopher's heritage, is he mulatto?

Sick of waiting for an answer from the ranting people on this bored I dug deep into the bowels of google and think I pulled what substitutes for an answer.

I a couple of blogs I found people giving the same logic I came up with, that Iranians insist on being called Persian because they don't want to be associated with what many see as crazy regime. Also there was mention of loyalty to the Sha and his son.

The was also implicitly supported by a paper I found on iranian.com by Lobat Asadi. In the paper he writes

"We have all had to fight along the silk route of the revolution to know who we are, and how we can preserve what's left of being Iranian. For example, some insist it's Persian not Iranian, because it reminds us of a Rostam-inspired dreamy past. Well, unless you were born when it was still Persia, then you are currently Iranian"

So there seems to be some discussion inside the Iranian/persian community over what they should call themselves.

There was another article on iranian.com fomr a girl detailing an argument over the name change from Persian to Iranian, she was for keeping it Persia and vehemently called herself persian.

There was also mention on another blog that some Iranian call themselves Persians to distinguish themselves from the "drity Turks or Arabs." Note this is taken right from blog and doesn't reprsent my view of Persianss, Iranians, Turks or Arabs. but represents a veiw, I guess.

So there you have it. An interesting dialog about why people form the area currently called Iran are/should be called Persian or Iranian.

If anyone else has something constructive to add I would be really interested in hearing it.

Also the the Americans question got me wondering if there is a real history there too. So if anyone has any insight about that coughing it up would also be cool. Hopfully the people who choose to answer that question will do it with a little more knowledge, forethough and civility.

looks to be mulatto. Someone should ask him and put this to rest.

Is very fascinating that the 400m seems to be dominated by long lean white boys with genetically predisposed bodies for that particular test of speed and strength, while distance is dominated by East Africans with genetically predisposed bodies for that particular test of lightness, speed and endurance.

interesting.

Why is color important? Why the insecurity?

Jeremy is white, alcohol kills brain cells...blah blah blah...Go Run...your competition is.
