I'm Persian

every time I tell someone It's racist they think of the hopper/walken scene.

But I can't blame her Persians are my turnoff as well.

When I first saw it, I thought she meant Persian Cats, not Persian people.

Some people think I'm crazy but I lived here all my life and I ain't 'fraid of no rolly-coaster!!

if you were a white girl you'd understand why. persian men are overly sexually aggressive and don't take no for an answer. especially if you were a white, blond, call girl.
