Are Armenians white????

Re: The whitest Armenians you will ever see in your life

Just because they are holding an Armenian flag doesn't make them Armenian. Even blond Armenians don't look like that, and that's coming from experience

No one said that, what we are saying is (in your eyes) just because they don't look Armenian doesn't mean that there not. What is an Armenian according to you? I'm jut curious?

Are there parts of Armenia with higher frequency rates for blond hair?

Re: The whitest Armenians you will ever see in your life

yes there are, you can go to villages where the majority have blonde hair and blue eyes. Also a good amount of Armenians have blue eyes. Of course it depends on the region also.

1. Who gives a damn if they are blond or not, or if they're white. There are African Armenians in Armenia as well, believe it or not.
2. Their hair color is not natural (it's OBVIOUS), therefore, it is useless to use it as an argument on whether they are Armenian or not.
3. Mos, you're extremely quick to dismiss your own compatriots simply because they look different. Why are they not Armenian? Because they look more European? Isn't that what you're trying to get Armenians to become? With no disrespect to you, I've seen you make many disrespectful comments against Diaspora Armenians, and I'm starting to get fed up with it. Let's hope you don't turn this thread into one of those where you try to prove your highly conservative, almost racist perspective on Armenians is the way to go. Don't get me wrong, you've positively contributed much more to this forum than I have. However, your comments sometimes insult me and my respectable, devoted Armenian entourage.
4. I can't believe I'm posting in this thread.

I'm not looking at the hair colour, more I'm looking at their faces. they may be Armenian, but if I was to put my money on it I would say they aren't. Don't see what's so offending in doing that.

Second, I'm not disrespectful against Diasporan Armenians, of course I don't like the diasporans who turn a blind eye towards Armenia, but I'm not disrespectful towards them. I disagree with ARF politics but that's a whole other story. I to despite all my relatives being in Armenia, and having deep connections with Armenia, am technically a diasporan as well as I live outside of Armenia but still live in Armenia every year.

I seriously can't even believe my eyes, I'm having a hard time believing they are even Armenian. I've seen many Armenians in my life, but none like them.

Hook a brother up, daymnnn... Aryan-Armenians!

You can't be like that. The fact that many Armenians turn a blind eye to Armenia is, in part, our failure to get them to appreciate Armenia, and that is because "we don't like them." Instead of "not liking" diasporans who turn a blind eye towards Armenia, we should think of ways to get them to open their eyes on Armenia.

Think about it. I was practically one of them, yet thanks to the resources available for me, I managed to get a "national awakening." If these "lost cause" Armenians realize that their compatriots are "hating" them, then you will be doing nothing good for your nation. You have to remember that many of these Armenians are just living their daily lives as human beings, and you'd probably be the same if you were born in a random American city.

The reason we couldn't stand up against the Turks is because of our pathetically fragile unity as a people. I always fight against this weakness of ours, and making "lost cause" Armenians even more "lost" is what I'm extremely against. Think about what Hrant Dink tried to do.

Man... you're confusing the ancient word Aryan with the Hitlerist re-invention.
