I really like these black Iranians. They are so cool!
During hostage crisis, White American families did NOT allow their children dated Iranians due to viture of "racial profiling" of Iranians in those days.
During shah days, Iranians were well respected in America. They used to date high profile Hollywood movie stars such as Elizabeth Tylor, Grace Kelly... and all those gorgeous blonde ladies from European descend.
After Ayatollas took power, Iranian racially profiling changed to "Terrorists" and "Trouble makers". Iranian students were the first vicims of hostage takers. Students, especially the ones who lived in Southern States such as Texas.. Alabama.. suffered the most. Iran was sinking to the level of starving African nations, subsequently, Iranian students in America lowered themselves and married women from African descend. They had no other choice except going out with black women. We see the result in the above video.
