Why am I not suprised how Iran oppresses ANY minority?
Iran's anti-Arab racism. Iran treats its Arab minority as second-class citizens. Now it is planning to hang six of them after rigged trials held in secret.

Does anyone care?
I wanna know why there is a total silence on this.
Is it because...
- Iran doesn't listen to anybody?
- No one cares about Arabs?
I am not saying that we should not voice concern about Iran's oppression and mass torture on other minorities such as Kurds, Bahai, Azeris, etc.
But I think the Arabs have it worse, if you go to Ahwaz you will find more about it.
the Ahwazi Arab people are victims of a cruel, deliberate impoverishment by the Iranian regime...

Nor am I saying that there is no anti Iranian (Farsi) racism, Saddam was the epidemy of anti Persian, anti Farsi racism, google up what the racist said about Farsi & Jews (here's a sample by WP), the fruits of that hatred was of course the Iran - Iraq 1980's war that claimed a Million victims from both sides..
But the ones suffering today are the Arabs in Iran, not the Iranians by Arabs.
