I think when I wore headscarf, most Arab women used to mistake me from being Saudi etc. However, I don’t understand the Iranian part.
haha…even in Pakistan, in Ferozsons, the guy asked me if I’m from Iran. I was like, “Wha? ”. And then my ESOL teacher, she saw my Pakistani passport and said she always thought I was Persian.

Could be the jet black hair.

For me I’ve been told its the way I look (facewise).

Once, I was wearing a shalwar kameez and speaking Urdu on the phone to my uncle and the cab driver STILL thought I was spanish but “dressed like a desan and knows urdu”

lol weirdo (the cab driver, not you)

@Gaia

Sadly no . That person was just ignorant. One time in class he said Pakistan is in South America. So I was like yup, you’re right, I’m Hawaiian…hahaha.

Btw Hareem you do look very Irani, it’s your hair and eyes. And since you’re lighter skinned.

lol, maybe he was mixing Pakistan up with Panama.
