You have to realize most Iranian Americans you see in the US came immediately after the '79 revolution were of a certain class who had different and secular values compared to the new Shi'ite regime. These people are very similar in tastes and attitudes to the Arabs who loved Egypt before 1952 when Cairo was almost a European city in the Middle East (like Beirut). Most of the spoiled/materialistic/non-Islamic people who you're stereotyping are offspring of this disenfranchised generation.

A lot of the hate for Arabs stems from the above group of people which believes Arabs 'forced' Islam on them after the fall of the Sassanids, and this is why Iran is in the situation it is now in today.

Here's some info from Wikipedia/Ask Meta Filter:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_naming_dispute

"About 2500 years ago, the emperor Cyrus was ruling over a people called (in their language) Parsa. The Greeks called the area in which they live (an area not equivalent to modern-day Iran, but roughly the same as the modern-day province of Pars [or Fars, hence "Farsi"]) Persis, which became, in Latin, Persia.

But around 1500 years ago, under the Sassanids, citizens of the empire began to call their land "Eran," as in, "Land of the Aryans."

Europeans, being distracted by other things, chose not to notice until the 1930s, when Reza Pahlavi asked (well, told) Western countries to discontinue the use of "Persia" and replace it with "Iran," simply because "Iran" was the name that Iranians were using. Note that the name change was not particularly controversial in Iran except among what you might call pro-Western academics and politicians. Reza Pahlavi, who was not a nice guy, has been accused of changing the name to make good with the Nazis, who as we all know had big boners for Aryans, but it seems clear that that was not his only motivation for the change.

Now, as to why American-Iranians would refer to themselves as Persians? I'd guess it's mostly just because they don't want to be beaten up by ignorant, misinformed Americans. Remember that "Iranian" would be (more or less) the name they would call themselves."

"Persian and Iranian mean different things. Persians are only one of the many ethnic groups in Iran (others are Kurds, Lors, Azeris, Arabs). Now, Persians are the dominant ethnic group (somthing like 55% IIRC), and the old empire and country were called Persia because of this dominance. The modern name Iran (from I think last century) is from the word Aryan, the Indoeurpean tribe which begat all the non-Arab, non-Turkic ethnic groups in Iran today, so Iran (and Iranian) is (and was intended to be) a more inclusive label.

To put it another way, Iranian is to Persian as British is to English - the English are definitely the dominant ethnic group in Britain, but equally definitely not the only one. Just as a Scot will be up in arms being called an Englishman, an Baluch will protest the label Persian."

Let's get this thread back on track. Out of respect for Lost which is about to conclude for good, Evangeline Lilly:

I don't think she classifies as B-list at all. If she does then she is easily number one.
