Socio-racial survey for Armenian members

[pezeveng]

Those that vote European are ignorant and don't want to be associated with the middle east because of all the ignorant terrorist sterio-type that comes with the middle east. Look whats in your fridge folks if you know how to make hummos, do you eat pita bread or a french bagguette with your lunch and dinner, do you say yalla or chao (if you say chao your a queer), have you ever smoked from a nerguleh, do you prefer a shawarma or a souvlaki. Were middle eastern like it or not, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this.
Dont be a sheeshee foofoo European.

If there were 1000 "Armenians" like you sinking in a boat and one Turk in another, I would rather save the Turk.

In the case of Armenians, I think it's up to each person to decide what he or she "is." As for me, I don't think I am Middle-Eastern because I associate that with Arab and Muslim culture, and I don't think I am European, because although I have pale skin, I don't share that culture. I am Armenian. And when I have to "check a box" on a form - it always "OTHER." It's not being patriotic or anything - it's the mere truth.

One day I got pulled over for a ticket, and when the police officer (LAPD) gave me the ticket, I saw that he'd put "O" under the Race category. Hey, if it's LAPD policy to classify Armenians as Other, then that's enough for me.

Tigranes: That's sad for you.

Pyunik: Shawarma is the Arabic word for "tarna."

Let's all realize and appreciate the fact that a great number of Armenians have been raised with lots of Arabic and "Middle Eastern" culture. What's more is that Armenians who have come from the Middle East have favorable feelings about Arabs and the Middle East because ARABS WELCOMED US WITH OPEN ARMS when we came as survivors of the Genocide. And, ARABS HAVE ALLOWED US TO KEEP OUR LANGUAGE, TO OPEN SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. This is why Armenians regard Arabs highly. And this is why they have allowed for some Arabic words and foods to infiltrate into the language and culture. Let us appreciate and recognize this.

My family has had many generations of Armenians in the Middle East. My father grew up speaking ONLY ARABIC. Of course I say "yalla" and use Arabic words. Do I regard these terms as "Armenian"? NO. Do I cherish them as part of the distinct sub-culture of Armenians from the Middle East? YES. Does the fact that I use them make me less Armenian, and akin to Turks? OH, HELL NO.

Amot tsezi.

Please don't associate with me with allah praising fools. Iam far from being a muslim or middle eastern however because of circumstance iam born in Beirut and regardless of who you are, you will be assimilated with the culture and ethnicity of those around you. Having parents born in Syria and Beirut, no matter what, you will pick up some middle eastern traditions. As for your trash talking I find it rather disturbing that you would come to the aid of a Turk, Iam to the belief of helping all Armenians no matter where in the world. William Saroyian has a great quote on this subject of Armenians meeting and always helping out one another. I don't believe in Armenians ruining our bloodline by marrying outside the race, but in North America it is becoming more and more common. I find here in Toronto, Armenians are constantly trying to outdo one another and jealousy runs rampant and its got to stop. Start loving eachother as we are all brothers and sisters. If you wish to argue make it factual not opinion as there is no right or wrong.

Peace

What the hell are you talking about? My parents are from Soviet Yerevan, I am from Western New York. We have a negative view of Western Armenians becuase of that attitude, you are middle eastern and not European. We are not ignorant to vote European, because that is what the majority of us are. We do not want to be associated with the middle east, besides the fact that we are not middle eastern, but because middle easterners are backward uneducated fools. Ciao is an Italian saying, and I, nor my family, uses Arabic phrases such as "yalla", "mashalla", or anything else. I smoked Nergileh once, not a good thing. The Truth is, YOU are middle eastern, not us. You are the one who has embraced Arabic living to the point where you are overshadowing Armenian culture. Not to bash on the Arabs, I have no problem with them, but their culture is not my culture. I should poke you with my triton for saying that.

Threads like this remind me about how much I truly hate Armenians sometimes.

[leana]

No. Maybe you are middle eastern, good for you, but your kind are the ones who are spreading the wrong crap around about Armenians. Why the hell would an armenian say "yalla"?
No I've never smoked nargileh, no I've never eaten nor do I know how to make hummos, I don't have the slightest idea what shawarma is but I like souvlaki. Oh and the only time I've said "yalla" was to mock a lebanese guy.
Keep this crap coming though, I enjoy the laughs.

I am not good with Western Armenian. It is much easier to type in English than Armenian, Latin letters and Armenian phonetics dont work well .

It is not shameful to eat humus and smoke nargileh, it is shameful to think that all Armenians are middle eastern, and continuously promote ourselves as middle eastern. I consider myself European...I dont care what you consider yourself to be, but you can keep it to yourself...the Middle East is no role model for Armenians.
