Also um… black Iranians do exist btw 😭 and by black I mean Africans. Iranians did use to own slaves from the 16th century up until the start of the 20th century and most of them reside in the bandar now or sistan/baluchistan.
Most Iranians aren’t even “white” as we look at it. We’re mainly tanned. My dad is tan. My aunt is tan. Some of my family members are tanner than I am and the amount of tan skinned and dark skinned Iranians I’ve seen are more than the “fair white” Iranians I’ve seen. Don’t forget we’re still Middle Eastern and we deal with the hot burning sun during summers so being tan isn’t rare in Iran at all.
This interview really did open my eyes up because you’re asking from both black Iranians and non-black Iranians about this question

I need to emphasize that i don hate this skin color. Literally my newest obsession has been katseye and watching lara's fancams who is a brown girl. An absolutely gorgeous one.
Yeah ofc hun that's what I'm not accusing you of anything here I know what you mean 😭😭😭 it's true that when you look around the majority in the center of Iran are light-skinned, but as someone who lives like near the North and mountains I gotta say it's more of a 50/50 situation here. The truth is Iran is not purely 'persian' or 'arabic' or anything of that sort. It's a huge mixed variety of multiple different cultures, some even European! We've been a land that's been accepting of a lot of immigrants since the beginning and so every Iranian is a completely different and interesting mix of ethnicities. I honestly think that's what makes our culture so charming, because it's a mix of everything but something also so unique to itself
Also one more thing
Both black washing and white washing are bad ONLY based on context.
Like if you put dark skin and big lips and a whole new hairstyle for Ningguang let’s say then yes that’s black washing and that’s bad don’t do it she’s not black she’s Asian.
BUT if you whitewash let’s say Mualani (which she already is whitewashed but okay) when she’s literally supposed to be inspired by people in Hawaii and the Polynesian people then yeah it’s wrong because she’s not supposed to be the colour of the people who literally colonized Hawaii 😭 she’s supposed to be tan. Hawaiian.

And sumeru characters for example. Nilou is supposed to be inspired by Iranian culture yet she’s so bright I have to lower the brightness of my screen when I see her
Kaveh too. The blonde hair 😭😭😭😭😭😭 crying
And Nahida of all people is inspired by all of Sumeru as a whole she should at least HAVE SOME TAN 😭

بعد اره دیگه هیچی آقا ایرانیا بلاخره خاوره میانهای هستن و اکثریتمون خب نه “سیاه” هستیم و نه کلا “سفید”. بینشون میشیم تقریبا ولی از هر دو حالت هم پیدا میشه چرا که نه.
Hoyoverse fucked up on representing and well Natlan was just the fuel to the fire because it’s all apparently based on African and Polynesian culture but where’s the representation?
