It doesn't appear that ethnicity was the issue in this case, ed. I'd vote for a good bribe, or spitefulness.

#9 James is of Iranian descent and speaks fluent Pashtun, the main language in Afghanistan, making him invaluable to the Army which is very short of translators.

Neighbours at his £800,000 house in Brighton, said his mother speaks only Farsi, the main language of Iran.

#10 Ah, Daniel James is his English name, then. Like those Chinese and Korean kids named Bobby and Sue Ann. Thanks for catching what I missed, guys!
