Re: Are Armenians white????
Resistance is futile. Didn't you learn when the Volgons destroyed the Earth (a 10 million year project for the Ultimate Question) for a hyperspace portal that wound up being unnecessary and re-destroyed? tsk tsk. :P
Though I do not have strong American pride, I must disagree with you. "American" isn't really an identity. When I tell people I'm "American," they don't accept that answer: "So does that mean you're white? Spanish? You look Italian..." America wasn't even founded by ONE ethnic group. It is a moshpot of diversity - for better or for worse. Its culture killing days will continue forever. Why? Not for some dark agenda, but because America is compiled of individuals who think of themselves more and more with each generation instead of thinking of themselves as part of a society, and thus making it ridiculously difficult to govern itself. There is only so much compromising that can be achieved.
What intrigues me is that I definitely see the point that many people don't know who Armenians are (I'll be frank. I met my first Armenian this last year...and now I'm dating one.... just noticed that.. moving on..). However, it's not that America is non-accepting of ethnics, they're non-accepting of whatever it is they do not KNOW. That is the fear of everyone when it gets to a certain point. For instance, the time where the house was really dark and you heard a noise...now you're not sure if you really heard it as you were doing something else (sleeping, on computer...)... and then your mind starts to wonder and you start to panic, especially if you're all alone in the house.... Point is, you don't KNOW. You became scared. America is the same way. They don't KNOW about you, so they don't know if you're a friend or foe.
