Phases of immigration section issue

The section about phases of immigration skips over the Iranian immigration to Chicago in the 1890s. Fir more info, see the book, Iranians in Chicagoland (2005) by Hamid Akbari. Adding a note here in case anyone wants to further develop this. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 02:31, 4 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-== Problem with Lede ==
-First sentence presents Iranian and Persian as being equivalent: "Iranian Americans or Persian Americans". However these two words refer to distinct things.
-[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Persian Persian]: " 1 : one of the people of Persia: such as
-a : one of the ancient Iranians who under Cyrus and his successors founded an empire in southwest Asia
-b : a member of one of the peoples forming the modern Iranian nationality"
-[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Iranian Iranian]: " 1 : a native or inhabitant of Iran"
-Put more simply Persian is an ethnic group where as Iranian refers to a nationality. Thus you can be Persian but be from Afghanistan, or Tajikistan etc. And by the same token you can be Iranian but not Persian, which is the case for about 35-40% of the population of Iran, there are many Iranian Azeri Turks for example who are Iranian but not Persian. Thus since this article is about Iranian Americans I propose deleting Persian American in the lede. Or atleast not preseting Iranian American and Persian American as being equivalents.
