Racism aganist Iranians in more Hollywood movies

[RazPaK]

I didn't know Hollywood made two movies about the history of Pakistan and made Pakistani national and cultural heroes the bad guy!

They make us looks like Arabs. And they are considered all bad.


Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why should they?

there are quite a few projects by the Iranian diaspora aimed at promoting their/your culture here, so that's not a fair statement. That they don't like the islamic republic is not the same as they don't care for their nation/mihan

LOL.
@Iranians get used to it.

They make more negative things about Pakistan than any other country, after Soviet Union.

We got used to it and adjusted.

Americans are like Indians.

They like to make believe and pretend in their movies, while in real life they are nothing.


These American-Jew-Indians are nothing. In a real fight they cry.



Why don't these fucks make a movie like this about Taliban?

Oh wait.


I know.

Because they got owned.

So says the guy who lives in the US.

well, lets see...

America is a multicultural country and Iranian immigrants have contributed a lot to America in the past 30-40 years , if they want to make a movie that's fine, there is freedom, but they shouldn't make such offensive and misrepresentation of Iranians.


If they ever made a movie like this about Jewish people, everyone would be fired and their reputation damaged. It would be deemed as anti-semetic.

Look at what happened to Mel Gibson.

Hollywood and Iranians:

A portion of the filming took place in North Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada in 1989-1990. The directors and Norris put ads in the local papers asking for Iranians to audition as extras for the movie. What happened next is as comical as it is tragic.

Many of the “Iranians” who showed up on the set proved to be a major disappointment to Norris. This is because, far from fitting into the popularized “Hollywood Persian” stereotype, the potential Iranian extras displayed a variety of phenotypes. The group included Iranians from the northern regions (Gilan, Mazandaran, Semnan, Talesh), the northwest (Azerbaijan) and the west (Lurs and Kurds) as well people from Isfahan and Tehran. Many of these could appear as “regular Americans” on the street or in your local shopping mall. The directors and Norris were very disappointed at this and were visibly upset. Here is an excerpt by one of the auditioning Iranian extras on the set (his identity withheld at his request):

''… the directors came to the set and were upset to see us. Among us were Mashadis of Turcomen background [with Central Asian/Far eastern appearance], Baluchis and more blondish types from the north and west…Norris and the directors said ‘what are these Caucasians doing on the set? I said I want ‘Iranian extras’ not Caucasians … Americans like to see real Iranians …”

The recruiters then explained that the “Caucasian” extras were natives of Iran from the north, Tehran and the northwest, but to no avail. Norris and the directors insisted on expelling the (so-called) “Caucasians” from the set. Similar reports have been reported by the aforementioned Jack Saheen with respect to Arab actors of Lebanese origin. Hollywood certainly is not free of human bias, seriously compromising any educational value of some of its “historical” releases.

You Iranians deserve everything that's coming to you.


Your king Cyrus saved the Jews, that are now making movies about you.

The movie is from a graphic novel and is everything exaggerated for the graphic effect. Even for such a two dimensional, low IQ movie, the portrayal of Perdians was unfair, especially considering the culture and the people still exist.

Very true.

I met an old Iranian guy at Pakistani halal shop here in Austin. The guy looked like a better version of Robert Deniro.

Bad luck?

Nobody's telling you to watch it.

Become powerful like the Jews, if you're not, stop whining.

To be honest, who cares about how fanboys all over the world see Persians? Anyone who studies history, or which is aware of the content knows the truth.

That Borat guy is always trying to make Muslims look bad and it doesnt come as a surprise that he is a devout jewish.

Its about ancient Persian civilization, not Muslims.
