We Iranian-Americans have come a long way. During the hostage crisis, we had to sit with FBI and explain our views. Some clubs and discos had signs saying "No Iranians Allowed." There was job discriminations and even violence.
But now, we are invited to the White House and NoRooz is celebrated like St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo and Easter. Great job guys!
It took us less than 40 years to get to this place while the other immigrants are still struggling to achieve the same.
I beg your pardon... (i never promised you a rose garden!) but i beg to differ.
Norooz is not there yet. Still has ways to go , so as to receive such prominent status.
I mean, if you wan to see this as the sign of better things to come then have it your way, but St. patrick's and cinco de mayo and Easter are celebrated in a totally differnt context that Norooz.
Others are already there my man. Irish-americans, Mexican -Americans.
And some of Us are still doing the sitd-down with the FBI. Where have you been?
I think it's really cool that they served "Aash Reshteh" at the white House and US Marine Band played "Ey Iran" for some prominent Iranians (and a very few Moftkhor NIACies!) But that's how democracy works. Writing blogs and comments on this site is not going to get you invited to Trump's White House!
Get ready for New York's NoRooz Parade, next Sunday on Madison Avenue.
LOL That how What works? Democracy?? how did you get from Ash rashte and some Kaleh pache and some iranian guests , to "This is how democracy works"?
Writing Blogs IS part of the democratic process and who the hell cares where it gets you.
I will. Just tell me how?!
