Persians typically consider themselves to be WHITE and are considered as such by the US Census Bureau. However, most laypeople will argue that Iranians are not White, but either Olive/Mediterranean or Brown.
Although Iranians are considered Caucasian in terms of race, the concept of race is complex and subjective. Different factors such as culture, geography, and history also play a role in how individuals identify themselves racially. Ultimately, whether Iranians are considered "white" depends on the perspective and framework used to define race.
first we should define white. some consider white as Europeans which belongs to Christendom heritage. so if we define that way, I should say Iranian are not white. but if we mean of white the people who have bright skin, I must say they are white. they look like the Mediterranean people. and genetically they belong to the indo-european race which the Europe and some part of India belong to it. and also they speak Persian which is a language derived of Aryans which is white race.
Persian origin is the same origin of Germans but the only difference is that when Arabs invaded Persia about 1300 years ago, they started to re-populating with Persian women and the mix is something between white and Arab. so the origin of Iranians is White but they're considered Middle Eastern now.
To persons who cares about "whiteness" the only white people are anglo-saxons or Nordic folks or aryans (maybe the Swiss might sneak in) from Western Europe with no history of ever having their family tree infiltrated by any other ethnic group. Being a non-Christian probably is factored into being non-white.Anyone who thinks that there is anything like a "white" race hasn't kept up with studies of the human genome.
PERSIANS, who make up the dominant ethnic group of Iran, consider themselves to be WHITE in contrast with the peoples in neighboring countries like Arabs, Türks, and Desis, who do not consider themselves White. Historically, the Persians trace their ancestry to the Caucasus Aryan Tribe, a sister-tribe to the various Indo-European Tribes that eventually conquered Europe. Other Iranian groups, like Azeris, Lurs, Arabs, Türks, and Kurdshave their own views about whether or not they are White, but most tend to argue that they are NOT WHITE.
Of course, the fact that Persians consider themselves White (and the US Census Bureau classifies any Iranian as White) means very little in interpersonal communication. People from Iran have a mixed reception in European and Anglo-American countries as concerns their "race". Some will consider them to be White, but a dark White (like a southern Italian), and others will consider them to be Brown.
