God, this, a million times. Using "Persian" for "Iranian" is exclusionary of all the Arabs, Kurds and other ethnicities that make up Iranian culture/heritage
However..."Persian" is the correct term for the language when you're speaking English, rather than "Farsi." Yeah it's complicated
Also - people have the right to identify themselves however they want. My/Ramtin’s point was in regard to news outlets purporting to be accurate/thorough not erasing a large portion of Iranians
