After that, first Huns then Turkic and and other non Iranian nomads began to encroach into Iran. Then the Arabs invaded, and evauntaully took over. So what is a current Iranian? Other than a genetic test, how do you know what race he is just by looking at him? Is he "white"? Or an Arab?
Is an ancient Iranian nomad "European", even though he lived in Central Asia? Many were probably quite pale, some mummified Scythians looked like Nords.

And what about the many blacks in America who have white blood in them, due to the large amount of children that slave owners had with slaves? If the mother is black and the father is white, what is the kid? Is he black?
That would mean that these persons are of mixed race. Not fullblood so to say. It doesn't really matter in daily lives since there should be no difference between races. On a race angel, there are a few races which have different features, like color, size etc.
Today it's not PC to talk about races, but for, as long as there are no discrimination, I can't see any problems talking about it.
