They're not actually poor. Maybe on paper but they know how to play their cards right and use the system:

"One lawmaker, Assemblywoman Nancy Calhoun, a Republican who represents an adjacent district in Orange County, has demanded an investigation by state officials into why Kiryas Joel received grants for the center. “They may be truly poor on paper,” Ms. Calhoun said. “They are not truly poor in reality.”

I think you might be on to something but it's definitely not the only answer. To your point, I think there is a sense of superiority by Iranians who look at Afghans as the second class citizens in their own country doing odd jobs like construction, cleaning, or laborious jobs.

Afghans resent this of course. But Samvsworld, I have to say it does suck that you get that negative attention because you're Iranian. I think something that's really clear to me is that they don't get aggressive with you because you were born in Canada though.
