he's from Iran not persia, he always calls himself persian. thats like someone from Mexico saying they are aztec.

50 years ago it was still Persia. And racially, they consider themselves Persians, very much separate from those who live on the Arabian Peninsula, some of whom are Arab, some of whom are Bedouin, and some of whom are Chaldean. And all of which are racially very different from the Turks or Egyptians.

Go to Iran and call any man you see an Arab. If all he does is spit on you, you got off lucky. It's like mistaking an Irishman for an Englishman, or a Greek for a Turk - Those sorts of things still buy you an ass-kicking in some parts of Dublin & Athens.

Or how Canadians get pissed off when someone calls them an American. Yes, they are north Americans, but they know that's not what the other guys meant.

I'm very sure Antonio is happy his dad moved his family to the States, and I'm sure that poker is far from the top of the list of reason's why.
