Answer 6

First off; your ethnicity is made up of the blood and genes you inherit from your parents. Your nationality is based upon where you were born, and what passport you hold. For example, I was born in England, but my parents are Belgian and Swiss. My ethnicity is Belgo-Swiss, but my nationality is English.

* If your parents are both from Iran, that makes your ETHNICITY Iranian.

* Your NATIONALITY is American, since you were born in the United States, but your ethnicity can never be American, since you don't have any American blood.

Answer 7

You belong to what ethic group that your parents are.  Does't matter where you were born.

your ethnicity is of your parents so if your parent are middle eastern then you are middleeastern but you were born and raised in US then you are middleeastern but a american  citizen.

Answer 10

Caucasian.  I would have thought Asian since Iran is in Asia.  But the school catagorizes  Iranians as Caucasian.

Answer 11

Your Iranian-American, technically. But you are American since you were, in fact, born in America. Hate to say it, but it's true.
