A while ago, I insisted on using the word "Persian" instead "Farsi". My friend, Shapour * *Suren-Pahlav from the circle of ancient Iranian studies has written an article about this. You can see his article here: http://www.cais-soas.com/CAIS/Languages/persian_not_farsi.htm

Well, yes : but is it any worse than the Americans describing

residents of Québec have the decency to call their language
"Québécois" and not try to pass it off as French :-)
