Now, this is exactly why Satrapi was again moved to write Persepolis. Most Americans believe that the entire country of Iran thinks so and Satrapi refutes this statement by saying: “A country should not be judged based on the actions of just a few.” The sad truth is that only a small portion of the country supports this type of extremist ideology, similar to how a small portion of the United States supports white supremacy. Should the United States be seen as a country intolerant of racism? No. Likewise, Iran should not be viewed this way
