The Armenian Genes...
In the Armenian Diaspora community there is a great view that Armenian's should marry Armenian's. I used to agree with this view. But, the more I think about it, the more it appears to me that this viewpoint is rather selfish of us.
From reading the forums, there have been talks of Armenian women being looked down upon by their families because they chose to marry a non-Armenian. I'd like to hear where people got this from, because in my opinion this is totally untrue. Armenian families are very close, we're not Indians; where a girl will get burnt, or stoned to death if she runs away from her arranged marriage.
There is no reason why Armenian's can not marry other races. Love is love. The important aspect of this is to teach your partner and your children the Armenian culture, and vise versa. There are non-Armenian's who know more about Armenia and its culture than that of "pure" Armenian's. The fact is, that as we may think we are pure Armenian's, we may not be, my family tree dates back to Iran, and I am also aware that I have some Russian blood in me. And so in fact, I would come to a conclusion that the majority of us are not so pure. That's not to say that we are not Armenian. There are many different communities of Armenians in our world, some are darker than others, some are blonde, etc. The smallest drop of Armenian blood in a person will make him/her an Armenian. Armenian's have strong characteristics, and even half Armenian's consider themselves Armenians. I see nothing wrong in this.
We as Armenian's should be able to marry anyone we choose, no matter their race(if this talk of family neglect is true among people). As long we teach our spouses and children the Armenian way, what difference is there, they will probably be more Armenian than some other Armenian families in America who eat hot chips for dinner, or eat out more often then they should.
It's time to relax, let our feet up, watch some porn
, and let the Armenian blood flow amongst others, that way, there will be more peace amongst people. Once of the kindest people in the world, Princess Diana, was 1/64th Armenian.
