Racism aganist Iranians in more Hollywood movies

[Yzd Khalifa]

@iranigirl2 it is nothing personal Hollywood is just trying to make a lot of money and controversy sells so they play off real geopolitics. I just finished watching Ironman 3 and there was a scene they just fly into Pakistan twice looking for a terrorist lol. So see you ain't the only ones.

Perhaps, but some movies are unacceptable for the Iranians like A day without my daughter, ironically the movie was shot in Israel, as well as Argo and 300.

First it was the Russians due to Soviet animosity now it is Iranians due to the nuke conflict and Pakistan is always invaded in the recent action movies as well. I would say Pakistan is made more of a joke out of then Iran nowadays in fact I do not even need to point it out as my white and hispanic friends even notice it and jab me over it lol.

Actually the people who got it worst are blacks, they have been here since the beginning of the America and they are always portrayed as thugs or criminals.

Well, We can't be sure wether such racism is being fueled by religious thoughts or discrimination, or for fun.

Yes, the black people have been suffering from discrimination for centuries.

Yes they are demonized to the point that it has become second nature. Like where I work if a black walks in I will have somebody watch him like I don't even realize I be profiling them just for their color. Hollywood influence.

@iranigirl2 Listen, only the ignorant will form their opinion about Persian culture and history, pre or post Islamic, by watching movies like this.

I'll tell you, personally..I'm not going to stop reading Muhammad Balkhi/Rummi because of some dimwitted movie.

The perception of Iran and its people depends on many things. Do you seriously think the Americans will think better of you either way..and globally 300 is the kind of movie where people will just want to watch the gore and the blood..personally I was rooting for the fake Leonides to get his head whacked in the first 20 mins of the movie. Its like a rage and steroid driven masterpiece of idiocy.

Again, personally I formed a very negative opinion of Iran primarily due to many posters here who kept posting inflammatory and grandiose posts despite the fact that as a nation..we have always engaged Iran respectfully and warmly and are still very close in terms of bilateral relations..I would like for that to grow between our countries. But when I separate any thought of geopolitics and look at some of the posters here then I just feel stunned. I expressed as much in some other thread and got attacked by certain posters.

The final word is that Iran's culture and history cannot be over-written..there is a limit to which propaganda can change perceptions.. specially in the minds of the discerning and the educated..A LOT of people watched 300 in India..MANY enjoyed it and NONE came our of the theater with a negative perception towards Iran/Persia because they understood that this was a typical Hollywood violence vehicle aimed at dumbing down everything.

You guys should have a Persian poetry festival in the west. If that doesn't bring them about then forget it..they are a lost cause. Never met a person who didn't like Rumi after he/she was introduced to it.
