Why do Armenians classify themselves as a race?

Re: Why do Armenians classify themselves as a race?

The guy was just asking, I know this topic has been touched on before but we don't need to flip out about it. It's not a big deal and if you don't think it's any use to answer his question then don't post and tell him that nobody cares or his question is dumb, etc.

I for one think too many people, not just Armenians, do not know the difference between race, sub-race and ethnicity.

You know, many people can figure what an ethnicity is, sub-race doesn't really matter, though. Sure, you can go off and tell your friends that you are mediterranean or something. That's up to you. As for race, most dumbasses out there actually takes us Armenians seriously when we tell them we're part of our OWN race. Which is far from the truth. Those who give definitions of race on urbandictionary.com show how dumb they really are. Sadly, the answerers there are our own people, which sickens me. Goes to show how stupid they can be. In the U.S. we classify people by our race, most ignorant hillbillies will take us seriously when we tell them that we are our own race, that's BAD. That spreads of how ignorant we are, but most of us smart Armenians will get offending from such stupid crap being spread. Really those Armenians who define themselves as a race are as dumb as those stupid-ass Americans. All is left to say is this. If you don't know what you're talking about, and you think you're smart, just shut up. We're caucasian, end of discussion. Now if you've got light skin, call yourself white. A darker skinned Armenian can may as well be called just "caucasian". Saying caucasion is more fitting to myself, as I won't be taken seriously by dumbass Americans out there.

Re: Why do Armenians classify themselves as a race?

You can call anything that is a group and is relatively homogeneous, race. Thus you can think of tribes as a race. Do we really have to resort to anthropology ALL the time?
