but now you are talking about "we" in the USA, rather than the regime currently in charge. There is a huge difference in bigotry between the USA in general, and Trump and his minions (who obviously can't be said to "practically define what it means to be excellent" ). I see you still make a distinction between the "Islamic Republic" and the people of Iran, though.
