Armenians gaining a bad rep?

[GSTracer05]

Have you guys noticed that if a white dude makes the paper for doing something stupid, none of the white dudes ask if that's giving them a bad rep? Because it's not.

Those stupid armos that do xxxx don't have any bearing on our culture. They're just giving themselves a bad rep. So screw em. And if people judge the armos based on overly exaggerated crap they read in the paper, then screw them as well.

Because as Armenians, we tend to be more critical of the bad things done by fellow Armenians.

Indeed. But we must remember that other people don't give a xxxx about it. Thus, it has no bearing on our reputation as seen by others.

Define "uglavik" please.

Uglavik is a Russian slang which means someone who stands in the corner of streets, which describes Hayastansi rabies/thuggish males, much like our resident Tigran here, who believes this elevates him to some illusory manhood, because of his stance as he leans on some railing under a building and puffs on Marlboros and talks about how bad ass he is and how many bytches he's done or what have you. The conversations will vary, and it does have an aura of intellectual freedom, so it can't be all that bad can it?

Not to sound discriminitory, I'm really not, but out of curiosity I wonder if there are any (significant) organized crime among Barsgahyes, Bairuitsis or Bolsahyes.

anything is possible! but if you notice theirs tends to be more white collar crime! WHICH IS STILL CRIME AND DAMAGING TO OUR REPUTATION!!! when i'm away from l.a. i am very proud of my roots and being armenian, but sadly in l.a. i know how they perceive us! the tiny minority of us! never mind the 1000's of bright students and professionals and artists and musicians that we have!! noooooo!!! cuz human nature usually focuses on the negative and applies it to the entire group! what a shame it is indeed!
