Am I an Iranian?

After immigration, this has been always one of my deep, deep questions: Am I still an Iranian? Do I belong to the pure Iranian culture whose the most common symbol is the notion that families gather on weekends and/ or holidays and after eating dishes full of fat meals like Kebab or Joojeh, males gather on one side and talk about politics and economy specially the price of meat and chicken and females gather on another side of the room and gossip, and sometimes all mingle and play cards (hokm ya poker).
Or Do I belong to a Western/American culture whose the most common symbol is the notion that people (tend to be smaller groups than Iranians) gather to eat fatty dishes like BBQ and pork and everyone talk about everything, with no special pattern, not everyone is sitting necessarily, often younger generation is doing some types of sport and males talk and brag about their jobs and females brag about where they have got their nails and hair done.
Since its introduction in 1998, it has been one of the critical parts of male’s wholesale viagra india private struggles. Driving tadalafil 20mg cipla a car can be an enjoyable and complete sensual playing with the partner. Propecia – There’s a great deal order cheap viagra view this pharmacy now of conjecture surrounding this product. If it is found early and is still confined to the gland itself then cheap cialis new.castillodeprincesas.com the chances of survival are excellent. So who am I? If you remember on the census forms we were Iranian American, so does that mean our culture is a mixture of both too? Yes that is what my personal opinion is , If you talk with those hardcore nationalists who don’t even get citizenship because they want to stay true to their roots, I believe they are lying to their self, because of what has gone to us, because of any reason we have to migrate and move from our motherland, we are not Iranian any longer. I am not American I never can be, I never have what an American has, and I hope I will be able to prevent my child to be raised as an American either.
So at last I believe I am not either an Iranian nor an American, but an Iranian- American .Hopefully the next generation can drop all the negative values of the both cultures and keep the positive values of it.
