I think most orthodox groups of zoroastrians outright don't, not just because of an ethnic component but because of a religious-philosophical notion that whatever religion you are is what is intended for the world. So it's even less of a missionary religion than Judaism. It's only now-ish that a counter movement from certain groups is forming, as they realize the religion is nearly dead.
Ngl 'iranian' people who are actually canadian or australian seem to nurture the most insane of world views. For one, they like to call themselves persian even though thats kitsch at best and supremacist at worst.
There are so many ethnic/ racial groups within Iran; azeris, Kurds, Arabs, Persians, balochis, etc. Persian is 50% roughly depending on your source. Not only that but calling Iran persia, is a colonial term.
That's why they changed the name themselves to Iran, because they're the land of the Ayranian people.
Someone should tell them to do a test at least.
The only reasonable explanation I have for this phenomenom is that these people are morons, believe that calling themselves Persian makes them western compliant, and believe it was the Ayatollah who 'changed the country's name'.

It wasn't the Ayatollah, this happened long before the rise of the IRI or the revolution
yes thats why they are dumb
