"An Israeli? I have never been to Israel in my life. I have never spoken to an Israeli in person in my life."
Sure you haven't! That's why you jumped into a thread about an actress spouting off all kinds of nonsensical zionist propaganda and have become more and more vitriolic when you've been exposed for being a shallow-minded troll.
Face it: you were caught and instead of just admitting this, you behave more and more like an idiot hoping to get the last word in, as if it somehow validates the garbage you pass off as an argument.

Just because I was born in the states, it doesn't make me any less Cuban or Brazilian.. like it doesn't make Sarah and less Iranian. She is proud of who she is and where she came from. and she should be.. the Iranian culture is a rich and beautiful one.
Another example. all the people born in the states who claim to be Irish or Italian.. they are proud of their heritage nothing more nothing less.
Besides. American is such a broad term.. anyone living in the Western hemisphere is "American". -

No, you're wrong. Sarah Shahi is not Iranian, since she is not from Iran, her father is, not her; Sarah Shahi is from the United States of America. My sister was born here in the USA to Brazilian parents, and she is never labeled as Brazilian by either I, herself, or our parents, my sister is simply an American. Now, you can call Sarah Shahi an Iranian American and a Spanish American, since she is an American with Iranian and Spanish ancestry, but to call her an Iranian would be incorrect and ignorant. Funny thing is that the majority of all the people hailing from the Americas have foreign ancestry. I was born in Brazil to a Brazilian mother of Portuguese descent and a Brazilian father of African, Portuguese, Italian, and Andalusian descent, so just because I have African, Portuguese, Italian, and Andalusian ancestry, does not mean that I can claim those titles. My ethnic background is more Portuguese than anything else, but I am in no means a Portuguese person, since Portuguese people must be born in Portugal. LammysSecret, you are not Cuban or Brazilian, you are an American, and if you want to acknowledge your ancestry, then you may call yourself a Cuban American or Brazilian Ame111crican, but Cuban and Brazilian, you are not. You can be proud of your heritage, but you also need to acknowledge your nationality. I am proud of my African heritage, but I don't ignore my Brazilian nationality. Brazilians are even more ethnically diverse than Americans. Sarah Shahi never called herself an Iranian nor a Spaniard, so we should never refer to her as such. If you want to refer to her by also acknowledging her ancestry at the same time, then refer to her as an Iranian American and a Spanish American.

Oh my gosh, she's HALF Iranian, HALF Spanish and her nationality in American! There is no such thing as an "American" ethnicity unless you're Native American. She's American, but her ethnicity is Iranian and Spanish.
