I have a friend who was born in Iran, and she says she's Persian, too. I can ask her.

Are you sure? Half the Iranians I know can pass for white people and the other half look Arab looking(Still significantly lighter), Aryan/Iran have the same origin. I’m sure in another world most Iranians would be considered white if they were more important in European history and were still Zoroastrians or Christian. Green Eyes is also common in that region and Pakistan too, I know a few gorgeous Pakistani people who have dark skin and light green eyes. Turkey is similar in that Iactually have met people whose only reaction with Turks have been ones of he more European variety and was surprised their were even darker skinned Turks.

Look up Turks or Iranians with green eyes it’s a lot more common than you think.

Its not like the police were warned she might be targeting Youtube and they didn't find her sleeping in her car and acting unusual and just let her go. Oh, wait, yeah I guess they were and they did.

I am going to stereotype but I imagine Youtube employees to be extremely anti gun, and an event like this will push those that were just slightly anti gun further into the gun control movement.

While she may have been a Muslim, she is clearly very secular and Americanized. She is a vegan and Animal rights activist who posted workout videos that ended up being age restricted. Which tell us she may have not been afraid to flaunt her body.
