    I worked for a mixed family in Houston for a few years. He was Persian, she was American. He was one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met, she was a sweetheart & their surprise twin daughters were adorable. When he wasn’t cracking jokes he taught me some important realities about what the world has learned from Persia. It was eye opening. I still think of them & hope they’re as happy now as they were then!!

History tells us that the Persians were very good at diplomacy and treated cultures they assimilated into their empire well. In fact, some groups became so well-treated that they rose to very high positions in the empire and practically ran the empire but as Persians, not seeking to turn the empire into their own or destroy it from within.

      @@LettuceBunnies The thing is that it's the perspective of a colonized mind. Whether it is Iran or India or even minorities in the U.S, we're colonized minds. We are told that we're less than because we're not the dominant ruling class and so we've internalized that message. I used to be so ashamed of being Muslim as a kid. OMG, I never claimed it. Being Indian, most people assumed I was Hindu and if they asked about religion, I told them that I don't discuss religion or politics with people. Now, as an adult, I'm unapologetically and unabashedly Muslim. That's a part of me and a part that has given me my moral compass and has made me into a kind, compassionate human being so why would I hide it or be ashamed of a significant part of me.

    I'm 100% Sicilian--my father's side came over a couple generations earlier, but my mother emigrated. It wasn't until I traveled to Italy to meet the family there, that I discovered that Saint days (or name days) were a thing, and celebrated like birthdays! So you had two celebrations a year--one for your birthday and another for your "onomastico", or the Saint day of the saint you were named for. St. Joseph's day even comes with it's own pastry and pasta dish! I get it--kinda feel like I'm owed a few back celebrations too! ;)
    And speaking of which, btw, Happy Birthday!

Everything is beautiful, fresh and new, and each season is exactly 3 complete months.

    I got to know some Persians over the past four years and I love hanging out with them and learning Farsi to be able to connect with them. They get surprised each time we meet as I use a new Farsi word and jokingly ask me if I am actually not Persian, and I jokingly tell them I am actually from Ishfahan (a city in Iran which has beautiful Persian architecture and that I'd love to visit). They get a good laugh out of that! They loved sharing their food with me (generously!) and of course, Persian food is one of the things we love to discuss at each meeting (and I love to learn about).

    As a Persian kid who moved with his parents, I have to say that I am lucky to have had these cultural experiences my whole life, even if it has always been behind the closed doors of my nuclear family and video calls thousands of miles away. Anybody else here like me?

      @TinaYojka BabaYojkina yes, but I believe Keyvon is an persian name ,at least the first part of it which I'm sure is persian, K just like the letter in engliah alphabets mean king and we have so many names like this which were the past kings' names, like Keikhosro we also have Khosro

    It's no secret that the European West took a lot from the East and from tradional cultures of the Americas and Africa. I'm glad to see so many comedians owning their cultural and ethic heritage, sharing it, teaching the world is much more complex than we could be fooled to think it seems. It's a New Day, it's Nowruz!

    Aw Kvon , You just became my favorite comedian, I love you for wanting to know about your Iranian culture and Nowruz holiday, I am so sorry your dad didn’t tell you anything about it, it has to do with being a man maybe, if you had an Iranian mom , I am sure she would not miss it ! it is an awesome holiday and I hope you will enjoy everything about it and spend it with awesome friends…. A lot of us that had to leave Iran or got raised out of Iran lost our roots and miss them dearly … I love you and you are an Iranian , not a half Iranian, but a proud one ❤️🌹🌺🌷
    By the way, kayvon is the Persian name of Saturn and Saturn according to Roman mythology is Jupiter’s father, and also is ancient god of agriculture, so you have an awesome Persian name!☺️😘🥰
