Having a non-traditional last name is good sometimes.

I don't think that's ever happened to me. I can only recall one Armenian not thinking I was Armenian. I've had plenty of non-Armenians think I'm not though.

It's also fun if you speak another language and people you can't. I can understand spanish fairly well and I've heard some strange conversations. I don't say anything though, better to let them assume you can't understand. Even though I'm sure the look is priceless, it's more informative to play dumb and let them keep talking.

whatsup with the socialist logo?

but yeah I agree with you on that and I have an addition.
having non-traditional armo looks is good sometimes.
LUVIN IT!
and I've been in a lot of situations where I've heard people talk about me... I guess I'm not as nice as you are. I never tell em I understand them lol

I have become a communist, that's what's up with it.


As far as never telling, that's what I do 90% of the time. Last night I just said it so I could get to see that look on her face, it was great. When I go to the Armenian grocery store they never speak to me in Armenian. It's weird, I go up to the cashier and you can tell she's trying to determine if you're Armenian or not. But alas, she always says the total in English.

oohh I have the Armenian look. Everywhere I go other Armenians can tell. Everyone says I have the Armenian look. The eyes, the nose, the hair, lips all that stuff. (I like to thank my parents for that!) But other races cant tell if I'm Armenian. One time this guy told me if I were jewish. I said no and he said damn and I thought I found my future wife. hehe..I blushed.

Lucky you, I hate it when odars can't tell I'm Armenian.

I always get either Italian or Greek. Recently, I've just given up and have ended up nodding my head with a yes.

I hate having to give them a speech about Armenia and where were from.... it gets annoying after a while.

oh yea once me and my cousin were at century theater to see passion of christ with our mom's and the whole row behind us were a group of armenian freinds and my cousin stand up two times to see if our parents were coming yet (the movie hasent begun yet) they didnt no we were armenian and they started to say in armenian god how many times does she have to stand up and sit down when my cuz was a bout to say something i shut her up. so then like 5 minutes later my mom and aunt came and both of us loudly said mom were here in armenian they got shocked but then one of the freinds said its okay we didnt say anything bad and we were laughing so badly

once we were at the store and my cousins daughter looks like she's a american cause she has blond hair and blue eyes and the armenians were all saying in (armeinan) i am pretty sure she got married to an american like if we could'nt hear that then my cousins daughter turned around and said apushner yes hay em we started to laugh so much and again they got shocked


well some can tell i am armenian and some cant

yeah..I'd say I look like the typical Armenian, but like someone else said I'm tired of givin a history lecture everytime I mention I'm Armenian. The answers I get are now mandetory. I tell them I'm Armenian, their response is Albanian?, Romanian, etc...Then they need to know where its located...so they say "I'm pretty sure its in Russia or Europe, right?" Then I explain that its near Iran and Iraq...

I see Armenians here and there, in the mall etc...I don't really approach them though. Oh yea one day I was at a burger king and this old man behind me for some reason looked really Armenian and this other girl right beside him too. I kinda wanted to say somethin, but didn't wanna look like a retard if they for some reason were not Armenian, I mean I didn't have any other Armenians around me that I could talk to.

Oh and one other thing, I got a lot of arabic freinds and evertime they talk I can pick up maybe 5 or so perncet of what they say just from all the Eastern Armenian slang I grew up with. Things like suger, spit, pocket, pants, etc... are all the same.

[HyeJinx1984]

Hmm.. one time I was in a class on April 24th when there weren't any other Armenians around and the whole class including the teacher spent the whole day making fun of and putting down Armenians. That was fun.

[XxgoeyxX]

Omg I would have cried. That is the saddest thing. What did they say? Did you at least say anything? I am guessing this was during High School and knowing you went to Grant I am not suprised!
