Like, I'm not Iranian, I'm Yugoslav. The humanizing of these oppressed people cannot be over done. I see my family in this photo, figuratively. This isn't a revelation, but a reminder.

Humanized because they’re dressed in Western costumes?

No, that they are at a party in a b&w photo having fun and it's a few decades old. They are all appearing with consent and not being displayed as terrorists/survivors/victims or anything associated with violence. This kind of photo could be in many people's albums.

It's a party. You have fun at parties. Who hurt you?
