Persians who are jews can be Sephardic jews or Mizrahi jews . Persian is a nationality and Separdic jew is a religion.

You got it. Same reason the OC housewives keep throwing parties and gathering the whole group knowing there's going to be a fight.

Why do people, especially young people think its all about labels, wealth, being evil, expensive cars and thinking you're all that. This show is total garbage and GG is pathetic!

What I hate most about this show is that it is nothing but a walking-talking caricature of Persians in LA. It does absolutely nothing to approve how they are viewed but it reinforces all of the negative stereotypes.

I thought that it looked so stupid that the one girl GG got fighting made over some comment about her clothes being from H&M. That was ridiculous. Most of the cast needs to trade in some of their Gucci/Louis Vuitton/Chanel and get a gym membership...just saying.

No they're not. There are no Persian Sephardic Jews. Persian Jews are Mizrahi.

Also only one of the characters on the show is Jewish.

if you do a google search or know Persians you will find out that some Persioans are Sephardic and some are Mizrahi, catholic and muslim.

Keep posts to the show itself and not religions or ethnicities.
