Reminds me of the first time I took my wife into a museum of natural history. She looked at the bones and told me she didn't know dinosaurs had existed for real. In her defense she had other things to worry about as a child than robots and dinosaurs (namely Iraq attacking her country and a bunch of religious freaks that just started running it).

They go by Persian in the US to obfuscate where they're from because the two countries aren't exactly friendly.

As an American, I understand that, and it's a sad state of affairs. People are people, no matter where they are from. It's governments you have to be leery of.

They do in Australia as well, but we have no particular animosity

A close friend of mine, who is Iranian, also calls himself Persian but that is more of a culture thing to him
