Why Are There So Many Iranians In Los Angeles? [Becoming Iranian-American, Pt. 1] | AJ+

- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2024
- Los Angeles is home to the largest community of Iranians outside of Iran. But what are the origins of this slice of Iran in America, aka “Tehrangeles”?
Watch Part 2: • Being Iranian In LA.: ...
When the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis happened, Iranians in the United States endured a period of immense anti-Iranian sentiment. They were protested, beaten - even their immigration status was threatened.

I went to visit Iran like ten years ago, I travelled many places there, since that trip I became a fierce defender of Iranians, they are marvellous people.
My best wishes to iranians from México
You should have stayed there.
All the best wishes ur welcome anytime dude 😊😉
beeing guest and actually staying is something different. iranians are proud of their identity. like to call themselves persians or aryans. it's a more nationalist mindset there.
I was there last February and the people are so kind in Iran I never experienced this kindness in other places, and I travel a lot. The people are nice, the food and their culture. The people are not their government, they are just human like us. If I have the chance again I will go again to Iran!
Manlio Martínez Barona oh so when you went there did you see them Stone gay people to death and did you see anti-semitic signs everywhere yes you did
People should not be judged by their government’s actions.
Not always.
You are so right. The fact that you have written your message in all capitals shows how accurate and intelligent your views are. You deserve to be the dean of sophiology at the most prestigious university in the world.
Where can I buy your latest book?
@@alisedighi7833 dont waste your time on those who accept their ignorance as their only.truth
Exactly!
Real History India no America meddled with Iranian elections and caused the mess in Iran soo
Iran would've been a better place if the Americans/British didn't meddle with their politics and oil reserves.
i 6tir
True. In 1953 they could have had a democratically elected government until the British interfered and put in the Puppet Shah.
Latin America too.
the all sign treaties we are not there because we want they could have gone to the other 15 muslims country
i 6tir FACTS
Iran would be a better place WITHOUT ORGANIZED RELIGION
As a Mexican in Los Angeles, I appreciate all Iranian people’ contribution to this state. In my experience, they are hard-working people who also happen to be very beautiful 😁# Ziba
And as an Iranian-American , I appreciate all my Mexican brothers and sisters for their integrity and incredible resilience . Most hard working and driven people #fuerte
@@nimaassadi1444 Most hard working and driven? above others? ummm debatable.
@@nimaassadi1444ok 2 faced Persian
@@nimaassadi1444is your dad a lawyer or doctor? Which does he defraud? Or does he maybe own a subway chain.
Growing up in Los Angeles, one of my on going memories of Iranians/Persians in the garment district in Santee Alley was how much they chain smoked AND how friendly they are. The statement, "my friend," was constantly said to us Mexicans who went shopping there. "Hello, my friend! What can I get you, my friend!"
mexchewy ya,because of this reason they r bothered.
as an Iranian German,I never allow some1 to insult Iran.
Iran means the land of aryans.so germany & Iran r from one race.I am also member of Nazies.
Ugh, I was one of those chain smoking idiots. Wasted 8 years of my life there. Interesting experience but I should have quit it sooner...I mean the garment district and smoking too.
I am Vietnamese and I LOVE Iranian people!!! Very beautiful culture, food and people.
IRAN + VIETNAM = TWO VERY ANCIENT PEOPLES AND CULTURES!! ;-)
How old are you?
Vietnam are underachievers and don't even do anything with Chinese culture they adopted lol
@@Mitchery Old enough to be your master, boy!!!
@@ToiYeuYAHWEH It is a good one
I’m Iranian and Vietnamese culture is so fascinating and cool. I had a friend who taught me to speak a little of the language
I love Iranians, I am from Tijuana and I learn about persian culture here in Georgia, USA, I am learning Farsi and planning my very first trip to Iran 🇮🇷 I need advices please!! Dooset daram!! Persians are the most warm people and very funny 😄
That’s so odd lol did you go?
as Saudi, I have much respect for Iranian people
Whatever you do it will happen to you same like afghans it is a swear to call you afghan in Iran 🇮🇷 and you would be embarrassed 😩 if someone call you afghan in Iran because people of Iran beat you up if they knew you are from Afghanistan 🇦🇫. Thanks 🙏 God the same thing happened to this bastard motherfuckers.
Thank you my Saudi friend for the kind comment. May our past histories and present politics never taint the respect and humanitarianism for eachother.
Mesopotamian Kurd real Kurds would never say that to their brothers and sisters
hossin maddoh only idiots hate eachother. Not all Iranians hate Afghanis, only the sadistic ones who even hate eachother. We know that Afghan people are our brothers and sisters. Always. Don't let the hate from some people ruin the reality of love. Blessings and greetings to you my brother :) x
No we don’t love Iranian 😷
I grew up in a heavily Iranian area, and I learned to speak some Persian because my neighbors growing up were Iranian and seeing all these foods reminds me of home.
Happy Nowruz everybody!
I've felt the same, I was born in Iraq and moved to the us when I was 6. I lived there for 10 years, but I'm as American as it gets.
Here is the address of anyone wants to try the ice cream
1525 N La Brea Ave, Hollywood, CA 90028
I would very much try to try some of that yummy stuff.
Thank you
I love this place
i wish i could come up there obe there but I'm in iran
kristin_446 I would also like to visit Iran. So much history but it’s kinda hard for Americans.
Thanks for raising awareness on this topic. As a student from Iran living in the States, I can tell you my experience in a Christian boarding school in the South East Kentucky was very similar to what you mentioned here. People did pointed fingers and cussed at me but thankfully no beating!
Iranians tend to be very friendly, in my experience. I respect and enjoy their culture. As an African American, I've only had positive experiences with Persians.
Anton Takashima yes theyre nice people. Im afghan btw.
African Americans beg to be accepted.
mplsridah thank you
mplsridah im afghan. I went black but black men arent serious with me. I want to be in a serious relationship. But the black man doesnt want to. What should i do?
mplsridah not by u 😂🤣😅
This was fantastic! Great job:) Thanks for educating me! I just met an Iranian man today - we both signed up for French lessons here in Montreal, Quebec; where there are many Iranian as well. I have meet a few Iranians around town:) Great people, very welcoming:)
I’m a quarter Persian and proud of it! Would love to visit Iran one day and see where my Grandpa grew up.
My daughters father is from Iran. He was in the Iranian military and was trained here in the USA. He went back to Iran and knew he had a daughter here but never contacted me about her. I forgave him because he is the one that missed out on a beautiful woman that she is today and has 4 son's which means he is also missing out on 4 absolutely amazing grandson's. I wish I could tell him about them but I don't know if he is even alive, just that he was from a small village near Shiraz. He would be about 64 now. I hope he is happy.
Iranian Military man? When did he return to Iran? If it is on early 80s, it was not a good time for a US Trained soldier. I am afraid, he did not survive the revolution. If he did, at least he would have tried to contact you and your daughter.
What was his name, probably he died by the government or war
Because Iranians are massively successful immigrants. Maybe the most. Persian culture is one of the high cultures and Iranians have managed to be successful in all areas from Science, tech, sports and arts. Also a lot of these Iranians are Jews in LA...
Ciaron Smith Japanese immigrants are by far the most successful immigrants to the US.
MrThemorningsun I don't think he's saying Jews are Iranian. He's saying many Iranians in LA are of Jewish faith, that being one of the reasons they left Iran to begin with.
@MrThemorningsun lmao are you Israelian jew?
@@betrousaltaweel there isn't even that many Japanese people in the USA why are you lying lmao
美しい死yas there are well over a million Japanese Americans and they have been in the US since the 1800s
Iranians aren't that different from us. They like ice cream. Seriously. Almost every video I see about Iran features ice cream.
haha funny yea, they love icecream thats true.
LOL. Great remark :P
We're actually very different from you. We're better than you :D
EXTRA^^^
Isaac Bakan Persians literally invented ice cream
As an Iranian who lives in Canada I can relate. I travelled to Canada about two years ago, I was being told many many bad things in college. For example I’ve been called bomber, go back to your country and many worse things. I made some good friends but they still call me really bad things sometimes and it’s for jokes only and they always apologize but I still feel really really uncomfortable. WE ARE PEOPLE NOT THE GOVERNMENT.
Wow, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I'm American (California) and I began talking to an Iranian guy a while back, and I fell in love! We've been together now for 2-years and I thank God for the fact that we looked past where we were from and looked at each other instead.
@@doubledoc7807hello may I ask is there an problem if a person has lived in Iran for 7 years and now wish to live in US. Are there any visa problems??
@@pepper2240 I was uncertain that I could answer this question truthfully until today, monday, after I spoke to our integration lawyer.. I'm sad to say that there are many "new" or renewed restrictions on Iranian nationals and citizens wishing to enter the USA - legally. However, if you claim asylum citizenship from Iran, you will be granted immediate citizenship. (I know the irony in that, but that is how the US statute is written, according to my immigration lawyer.) Best of luck, truly.)
im an arab, and despite the problem Iran and the gulf state has, I still love all the Iranians and have so much respect for them. I met a lot of iranians, and they were all lovely people, i will never hate someone because their government wants me to -from kuwait
Kuwaitis are the coolest arabs ! Plus I love how kuwaitis government work
Thank you!! 美しい死yas
Most Arabs hate gulf states anyways. Us non gulf Arabs like Iran more
Then say persian gulf
Persian gulf
I LOVE my Iranian people, they got the cutest accent when they speak English :) love and respect from Saudi
WALEED ALHARBI huge respect for all those progress made by prince Mohammad Bin Salman.our sisters in Saudi arabia deserve more
thanks alot
no, vee don't hav accent. I espik vit no accent. but tank you very much my frend.
AlexHector Turn your caps off old man. Second off, leave us Persians alone. Peace be upon you.
Ok toddler.
Super documentary, can't wait to see the subsequent installments.
I'm new to LA from NYC. Good to know. Still trying to figure this place out. Love to see diversity and culture in a city.
I had a coworker from 1979 to the early 1980s who was Iranian who called himself "Persian". I understood why. I was an adult during the entire hostage situation and remember it well, particularly when the hostages were finally released and came back to the USA.
I m lookng for my Iranian friend David. He was born in 1964 and he came from Tehran. In 1989 he was living in Vienna in Austria. In autumn 1989 he went to USA. I would like to find him.
Elzbieta Niziolek do you have information of him, or picture...
Unfortnately I don t have any photo. I don t remember also his second name. He was azylum seeker. I met him in Vienna in Austria n 1989. Then in autumn 1989 he went to USA. I lost contact with him.
And I’m looking for my dog KeKe from winter 1979, have you seen her? Cause I need her, and I want her
you need a poor iranian boyfriend do you ?
Try Facebook
Thank you for this eye-opening video!
Respect to iranian people.
Horn of Africa is the anus of the World
Thanks ❤️
I'm from Saudi Arabia and I always ask myself why there is this conflict in the Middle East? What if the 1979 revolution did not happen what would it be? Why can't Saudi be liberal and open? Do you guys think Persians and Arabs (governments) will get along? Iran is rich in gas, oil, culture, tradition, music, food, education, nature, etc.... I just, wish we can get along and live beside each other in peace..
Shitty governments are the reason.
As an Iranian, I salute you my friend! We need more people like you in Saudi Arabia and the middle east!
Why Saudi Arabia is killing Yemeni people? 8 years killing like drinking water actually you are the problem in Middle East and Zionism regime, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM
I am mexican and I appreciate the Persian influence in California 😍 I had a friend in high school who was half Mexican and Persian. She was gorgeous! What a unique mixture of cultures 🇮🇷🇲🇽♥️
Persian culture is the oldest culture. Our ancestors in ancient times were specific to the era of our great-grandfather Cyrus the Great. The Persians were developed until the arrival of the Arabs and the spread of Islam and the Arabs and the Persians became integrated, where most of the scholars of the Muslims were Persians, and the reason was the culture, arts and intelligence of the Persian people. You will find it very long and there are more than one Persian Empire
Persians are really smart.
This was very entertaining and educative. Thanks !
Cant wait for the upcoming episodes! :)❤
thanks for this, all my support to Iranian-Americans. love from Spain
love and support to our Iranian brothers and sisters... from the Philippines. 👌 #Respect
pare ko !
Thank you
So, the US installed a dictator and didn't extradite him ........ What did they expect from the Iranian people , what did they think , that the Iranian people will turn around and say " oh , you made a small mistake everything is forgiven" ........
Syed Abdul Wasay it’s a part of their secret plan
NWO
The us didn’t install the shah(king)Iran already had a monarchy that had been around for centuries but the us began influencing the shah and Iranian politics.
The Shah was way better then what Iranians have now
@The Dude You had more freedom. And that is what matters.
And you do have foreign soldiers on your soil now. You have Hezbollah and Iraqi militias suppressing dissent right now as we speak.

Very touched by your excellent series. Especially by your father and how torn he felt about his dual loyalties. Nothing wrong with being American of Iranian origin! Loved all the food you showed. What's a culture of if not for the food?? Best part was that you showed all faiths of one culture and the love and respect the people felt for their origins, while at the same time blending into the modern culture of America. You did great in portraying all that! Bravo!
Thank you for the good video, it's nice to see the other side of the story.
I live in Iran and i never though that people who went to the U.S felt this way.
Love Iran from iraqi Kurdistan, we share the same blood ❤
Happy Nowruz my dear Kurdish Brother. No one is closer to us than our Kurdish brothers. Persian, Kurdish and Azari are the same.
Happy Newroz too🔥, we are one family 🇹🇯🇮🇷
hama jabary im from kermanshah.... And i love Kurdistan
Alireza Cheshmak Thank you, we love Kermansha(Kermashan) too which is a part of East Kurdistan-Iran ❤
Roozbeh Soleimani Azeri are Turkic, even Pashtuns or Tajiks are closer than Azeris
As a Romanian from the LA area (ok Orange County but I hate OC and wanna move to LA), I have a lot of Iranian friends and they are honestly a lot like us, they have a similar culture of being friendly and inviting and whenever I go to an Iranian restaurant or hookah lounge I feel just at home.
I am Vietnamese and I LOVE Iranian people!!! Very beautiful culture, food and people. I am Vietnam

TRavellers visiting Iran nowadays say the same :
such generous, kind people .Especially since they're on the US list of countries to be bludgioned into subservience by the Dollar economies of the west.
Go back in your country Alex
Great video, wonderfully produced!
Arab here, I love Iranians/Persians! Most of the people I admire are actually Iranian =)
Thanks.❤❤❤
Great video! Here in Denmark me and most of my friends usually also go by persians, but without any specific reason.. Anyways keep up the good work, & much love! :)

I love Mashti Malone's. A typical weekend trip to Los Angeles for us might include a meal at Awash Ethiopian cuisine then a stop at Mashti Malone's on the way back to the 101. Growing up in the Los Angeles area, with so many Persian/Iranian friends, there didn't seem to be anything "other" about them. Great video in pointing out the discrimination my friends' families faced and I wasn't even aware of.
In love with Iran...
me too bro
that ice cream looks so good
Awesome content dude! Thumbs up 👍🏼
Pumped for the next one! :)
Happy Nowruz!
My father was a High School teacher in 1979. One girl student whose nickname was nicknamed " Goalie " whose father was an IIAF officer doing training at McDill AFB ended up in the principal's office sobbing because some girls said some unkind things to her. She asked my dad if when he and my mother came from Cuba did people think they were Communists? The answer of course is no. He told her if anyone asks you where you are from tell them Morocco. Her father told mine how only two yrs ago people thought he was a millionaire because he was Iranian , now they think he was a terrorist. ,
James Varela ya,they r brainwashed
Someone who was advising Khomeini must have told him attack American on American soil and they go pigwild. I remember during the hostage crisis the constant moaning of when Carter was going to take military action? and when Saddam finally sent in the Iraqi army people all over America were cheering , even college students formed Saddam Hussein fan clubs, nobody ever bothered to tell them Iraq was a Soviet client state like Cuba. I also remember my grandmother watching it all and sighing it was all like after the attack on Pear Harbor in 1941. 40 yrs have shown President Carter was right to pursue a diplomatic solution.
Oh.....I am Korean-Singaporean American and I can COMPLETELY relate to you!!!!
I know EXACTLY how you felt and feel today.
Very interesting and nice video`s! I used them for my class on the relation between integration and transnationalism
Iranians are very warm-hearted, friendly, helpful people ... To most people, it would be illogical to mix politics & Iranians perso nality/character ...
I used to live in LA and I love Iranians! Mashti Malone's ice cream and faloodeh is the best! I used to go there twice a week and I've never had better ice cream in my life!
I enjoyed this video so much thank youuuu , lots and lots of love from Iran to all of you
Beautifully done!
I Love Iranian Because I'm Iranian 😂😍 and we respect other nations. Peace 👌❤
I don't understand how someone can be so hateful towards a culture. I find it hard to hate any culture because of the food, music, and art.
Yes, you see that in muslim countries against gays.
Michael Carranza while legislation in some countries may be anti gay, that does not mean everyone in that culture or that culture itself is necessarily anti gay. I am referring to all cultures when I say that
Nope, it's both, islamic government, and islamic cultures who are against gays.
gays are killed by the government, and in small rural muslim villages, they stone them.
Michael Carranza Europe and the US used to be homophobic too a few decades ago, so what? Things do not change overnight.
@@josecarranza7555 and christians, and minorities, and the rich.
Just exactly what I needed.
ayyyy, waiting for p2
I can only speak from personal experience. I was a young woman in London & met many Iranian families who'd fled from Iran after the Shah had been deposed. They were gentle, kind, intelligent & well educated people. The professional classes. They were devastated at what they thought was a massive backward step in their country & wept for their beautiful country. They had lost so much, yet they remained optimistic. I know most either stayed in London or moved to the US. Certainly far, far nicer than the violent thugs invading Europe.
You enrich Los Angeles .... as a native Angeleno I welcome you with open arms.
Carlos Aguilar wow, never expected such comment
hossin maddoh why do Iranians hate Afghans?
Is Los Angeles your property? How exactly are you Native. And why are Iranians any more welcome than Nigerian, Vietnamese, Indian or Ukrainian?
Iranians don't hate afghans. It's just the antipathy towards the refugees from Afghanistan who are criminal. In fact Iranians and Afghans are brothers. At least the persian speaking majority.
Steven Lee Not the same at. Mexicans are more diverse genetically with different ancestral roots. Where as Central Americans are mainly of Native American decent and culture.
love content like this!
Amazing video!
Oh I miss Persians, Persian food and especially rose ice cream. They don't have that in Germany.
I am Vietnamese and I LOVE Iranian people!!! Very beautiful culture, food and people. I am Vietnam

Judy there are Iranian communities, stores and restaurants also in Germany. I don't know where in Germany you live, but you have large Iranian communities in Hamburg and Berlin, and some other cities as well. You could maybe find your favorite Persian food there as well, Hamburg, Berlin or elsewhere. Search for it and you will see!
@@ToiYeuYAHWEH i like to know more about vietnam culture
Roobi, my dear Persian brother. Thank you for your interest in Vietnamese culture. We are one of the oldest people in the world, like that of your beautiful Persian people. And like you, we are very independent-minded people who have to constantly struggle to maintain our freedom and independence. Others have tried to occupy our land and destroy our identity but they have all failed because our Viet culture is much stronger, older and more human than chinese or Western ones. No matter how much bigger and mightier our enemies may be, we Viets will always prevail against them.
I hope that help, my Persian brother. I wish to enjoy a delicious lamb Polo dish with you along with a refreshing glass of dooug. Shalaam. :-D
Iranians and Viets get along perfectly because we come from very ancient lands inhabited by very kind peoples with rich history. I wish Iran will be free from Islamic dictatorship and Vietnam to be free from communist dictatorship. And we must unite against china and their ambitious greed to rule the world. Thank you, Persian brothers and sisters.
-- Much love and respect from Vietnam.
Beautiful culture :) Iranians are seriously handsome
Thank you, we know we are. We are very humble about it too.
Personally Iranians look like light skinned Indians to me. And most Mexicans think that too here in Los Angeles.

So many immigrate and make their home in Los Angeles. Torrance, my hometown, was home to the second highest population of Japanese outside of Japan. Second to Hawaii only. Growing up, my best friends was a family that immigrated from Samoa.
Our favorite place to eat is this Korean BBQ place in Torrance that we grew up with. My schools were always diverse. Myself, I'm half Mexican half French. I remember when my family took a family trip to the East Coast. My mom was forced into an existential crisis when we couldn't find a single grocery store that sold tortillas in Pennsylvania.
LA is the true melting pot of the US. More so than NY.
True melting pot ? What are you trying to say?
It was great. Keep it going on
Very interesting video. Does the guy who did it have videos on another channel also? If so I would love to see them.

Tehran winter temperature is more like Maryland, USA and is characterized as a cold desert climate with continental climate and Mediterranean like rain patterns
Nice video yara 👏👏👏
great research
I'm half Iranian and half peruvian, so I love the Iranian culture and the System of gobernment of Iran, i think that the iranians descendant in Latin America have other perspective of the Iranian-Americans¡¡¡
Persian is a race. Some Iranians are azari, lurr, kurd, and Arab. But the majority of Iranians in Iran are Persian. Countries that end with -istan can also refer to themselves as Persians because there were all under the ancient Persia
younes rahimi Persian is an ethnicity
tf u talking about💀
I agree with everything you said until ur last statement, its so ignorant and illogical my friend.
Very interesting to watch

He responded all questions quick with the perfect answer it was like firing bullets to the heart of the bias & puppet journalists , he crushed the heart of the questioner and never got offended at all......I pray that one day u unite the entire Muslim nations who lost each other...... And I prayed u read books written by Leopald Weiss ( aka Mohamed Asad)....... I , too learned lot through his books.......
My prayer to you all

I wish them all the best from now and forevermore..its painful to experience all the hate.. anyways saffron is quite very expensive so its a precious ingredient to be used on ice-cream but them using it in their recipes and serving it to people it would show how much importance they care about their customers or any american to try it.
