Socio-racial survey for Armenian members

[chille]

I am definitely white European. I was born in a European country, raised there as well, so my Armenian identity has been influenced by the environment I grew up in. My friends in America think I am white, they never say I am caucasian though (well, my family is from the Caucasus, so I am more caucasian than they are, but they have a different understanding of the the term "caucasian"...).

With the rate at which Mexicans are multiplying here in L.A. I say race matters every bit as much as someones breath. Come on folks, put things into perspective.

I hear Armenians and Mexicans don't get along too well in the USA, is that true? If so why? Although I can guess.

Well, aside from the obvious nonsense of "diversity is a strength" there are factions within these ethnic groups, like all other ethnic groups, that are just plain expendable, and they stir up alot of nonsensical tension often times where there is none.

For example, in my highschool, the Armenian Mexican feud was a given. It would almost be odd if something was not an Armenian Mexican feud. Personally, I got along with everyone just fine because aside from the fact taht I couldn't give a rats ass about high school, these were just temporal people passing through my life so why bother? I'll save the fighting for inter family rivalry. For the most part, diversity is not a strength and when you stick all these different ethnic groups together and force them to integrate there will be alot of problems, and this isn't just confined to Armenians and Mexicans, the issues has been between Chinese and Vietnamese or Korean gangs, for example, or the Mexican and black violence.

I might be wrong, but I think Armenians as a race are considered caucasian thus white, but then again I read somewhere that Armenians are aryans, but I think we look white.... Now as far as culture goes, our culture is Armenian right? So this poll is missing the real option which should be white(racially)/Armenian(culturally) since the question is asking for both race and culture.

[xBaron Dants]

Agreed with CatWoman. Armenians are racially white, but culturally...Armenian.

Can you people stop referring to the word "Caucasian" as if it means anything besides white? The reason that all white people are referred to as caucasian has nothing to do with origins or anything like that, it originated simply because some british archeologist was diggin in the caucasus area and he found that the skulls there were extremely beautiful and therefore he used caucasian as a name for white and it stuck. if you dont believe me go do some research on it.

Grey Wolf, I never heard of Amr Diab. I have no idea who or what it is.
I just assumed it's some popular towelhead singer.

Then don't comment on things you don't know anything about, you white wannabe.

Wow, that's interesting! I was always wondering where the term "caucasian" was coming from! Thanks! That's always good to know

Don't waste time on azgaser. He's from Iran and lives in Sweden now. Mother is most likely an Azeri/Parsik. He's a turk sympathizer.
