Iranian are white. Have you seen Khamenei? He looks like my dad (who's of English and German ancestry)!

Yes some of us, but a lot, in fact most Iranians are what we call "sabz" which just means tan. Besides you won't often find an Iranian with a ski slope nose, that isn't surgically altered.

Civ is not known for historical accuracy, anyway.

 

[SchoolzSoKewl]

Well dressed? You can only see his face.

Cyrus is really white in civ 4 too.

I know, but I've seen more than one picture of him, not to mention the videos of him singing at clubs and shows posted on youtube.

Cyrus was before the Arabs, Turks and Mongols came. I think it's safe to say most Iranians have the blood of one of the 3 somewhere down the line.
But I'm not really sure how Iranians looked back then I'm only assuming they were whiter until the Arabs and others occupied Iran. Maybe Iranians have always looked the way they look now.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

Well he's fairly white in this portrait

Sadly, doing a search for cyrus wiki brings up Billy Ray Cyrus as the first result

Haven't you heard of the (actual, not rasistly modified) Aryans? Yea, they're white.

Well, usually tan groups like Spanish people, Italians, Greeks, Turks, and Berbers are also white (though white is really an artificial designation; by white I mean the generally accepted definition of white, i.e. the definition as it was c. 40 years ago, before there was much genetic research).

 

[Ulyaoth]

Whites are from Europe.

 

[Dachs]

Changed my custom user title from a simple "Avatar" to the appropriate characters (I think) for Korra.

 

[Mango Elephant]

Whites are from Europe.

And the Middle East and North Africa.

Or at least that's how it is here.

 

[Yared]

And from the far east, barring the southern lands.

 

[Bobbtjoe]

I have added all the names people call me here to my sig.

 

[Joecoolyo]

I have never seen anyone call you any of those ever.

 

[Yared]

wrong thread

 

[W|M]

everyone does...some just prefer it more than others.

 

[Bobbtjoe]

I have never seen anyone call you any of those ever.

My name is supposed to be Bobbyjoe, I just made a typo. Notice how the Y and the T are right next to each other. I will nearly always refer to myself as "bobbyjoe" though I make the occasionally error and spell it "boobyjoe", giving all the trolls a good laugh.

 

[Yared]

Nope, still haven't seen that


BTW, you can ask a mod for a name change.

 

[Zack]

I have added all the names people call me here to my sig.

The only person who has ever called you the last two is yourself.
