I didn't percieve any intent to provoke, but that's just me.
I took a look around, trying to find a figure for the number of Iranian Americans there are here in the US. Figures given vary, but the range was between 691,000 and one million. That's about 3/10 of one percent (.003), of the US population. If they are represented in that same proportion in the controller population, that means there'd only be 45 out of 15,000.
You may bump into another one, but it would be quite a coincidence...
