Why do Pakistanis call themselves Persians?
All the Iranians are going to explain the history of Persia leading up to the current date and claim that Persian and Iranian are interchangeable. To a certain extent this is true. But the real truth that no one wants to admit to (or simply are unaware of because their parents didn't educate them) is that they had no problem claiming themselves as Iranians until the 70's and 80's when the U.S. and Iran went sour with their relations. The U.S. media depicted images of people in Iran shouting anti-American curses, wishing death upon all US presidents, etc. They attacked the U.S. embassy, and if I'm not mistaken, Iranians carried out terrorist attacks. Obviously the Americans weren't getting the best image of Iranians, and hence it wasn't a comfortable thing to proclaim their national background. They then dropped the term and since then have been calling themselves Persians.
