Gene-Splicing and Armenians

[nunechka]

watch your language... there is no reason to use vulgar language... armenians ARE white, but those in ARMENIA look MORE WHITE!!! then those who are not...

maybe one of the reasons why they LOOK MORE WHITE! is because they mix with russians more in ARMENIA then anywhere else...

[xBaron Dants]

in armenia, armenians mix with russians, ukrainians, or yugoslavians... AND then those kids marry armenians... so actually they stay armenian, and this cycle continues...

maybe thats why armenians in armenia are whiter looking then armenians from middle eastern countries...

I'd tend to disagree with that assessment. Many Hayastantsis have a dark complexion. In fact, I personally have seen more Hayastantsis with darker complexions than Souriahays or Beirutsis or Yekibdahays.. This doesn't mean anything of course, because what I've seen is not representative of anything, but I'd tend to say it's pretty much "equal".

Wrong.
Armenians in Armenia are 10000X more lighter than Diasporans.
There are obviously darkies there too but on average ROA/CIS Armenians are more pure, often the ambiguous types are just kurds, azeris and georgians with Armenian names leftover from the jewish soviet "utopia".

That was foul language?
It's still a stupid thing to say, they are "more" White because they don't mix with arabs whom Diasporans worship. If Genocide survivors kept their bloodlines pure there would be no distinctions, Slavs or no Slavs.

Okay okay what's ROA/CIS? Return On Assets/Computer Information System? LOL, speak clearly so dumb ones like me can understand. Also what exactly do you mean by more pure? This kind of Armenians are more pure than that kind of Armenians?? whaaaat?!!!! Crap. I also don't think that Armenians from Armenia are 10000 times lighter than diasporans, cuz that statement makes diasporants close to black However, one thing I noticed about guys from Armenia is that they have red cheecks...

I agree, I'll refrain from using divisive language such as that. But if anyone has a lighter pigmentation it's Armenians from CIS/ROA (Commonwealth of Independent States/Republic of Armenia). Besides what matters is phenotype and morphology.
A dark Maltese or Sicillian is my kin, a milk white Chink or a Tatar is not.

I know what you mean about rosy cheeks. People in Artsakh have even more of that. That's cuz of elevation in the mountains, the air is cleaner, the food is cleaner etc.

Disaporans worship Arabs? Are you kidding? Since when does listening to Arabic music equate to worship? Just because those Armenians that lived in countires filled with Arabs and Arabic influence like to listen to Arabic music doesn't mean they also like to bed muslim Arabs.

[CatWoman]

Yeah seriously, diasporans worship and mix with arabs? Who told you that? You do know that it wasn't easy for diasporans to stay as pure as they did right, considering that only 2-3% of the population of where they lived cinsisted of Armenians and the rest other (arabs/persians/etc.) Regardless, they didn't mix and it's a shame that someone such as yourself would consider them less than pure! Besides being a pure Armenian has nothing to do with phenotypes, it's what you do for your people and country and etc. not how white or rosy cheeked you are silly.

You were going great until you said that
Maybe not though, if you mean what you do for your country and people matters more than how appealing your phenotype might be as opposed to a monkey from Yemen fighting for Armenia being an Armenian than I agree.

I know I'm not giving enough credit to Diasporans. I'm certain if other people (say the Polaks or the Swiss) were in the same situation, as in forced to live in the ME for almost a century since the Genocide they wouldn't even be around today in any shape or form, not to mention have schools or Churches.
I just wish more Armenians from there didn't associate themselves with that foreign culture and mentaility and tried a little harder to re-Armenianize themselves. Hell I know many here that go to the Armenian community centers, Churches etc. but if you ask them what are you they will say I'm Lebanese

tigran i have also experienced that...
i was sitting in my first class at CSULA and the teach went around to ask where people where from, to introduce themselves and my friend who is armenian, said she was lebanese...i was like WHAT???

are almost spoke out and said NO YOU ARE ARMENIAN... how could she say that??? i was so pissed at her, and ever since then i just dont give a rats ass what she says... what a dits...

she even argued with me, "nune, i was born there, blah blah blah..." and i would tell her, if an english man was born in china would that make him chinese? she still didnt get it... too much info to take in i guess...
