Rat - there you go attempting to label people again - so now your definition of an Armenian is someone who has been there? Hardly...my family for generations back has lived in Anatolia - what need would they have to check in at the Yerevan Sheraton or such to prove that they were Armenian. And this is so typical of you - no argument other then ad homenim. And accusing me (or anyone else) of making off topic (or meaningless) posts in a thread? You of all people shouldn't be throwing those stones.
So you have green eyes and fair skin - OK - I guess that why they let you join the Hitler youth (oh I'm sorry - I assume that you dye your hair blond as well...now click those heels together smartly...)...however in my book you are not the typical Armenian. I've been around quite a few - and while there is certainly a range of looks - the archtype fits much more closely into the Middle Eastern type of genotype then it does European. I would argue that no one (not even the kid) would fail to pick out the average Armenian in a line up consisting of "germans italians and english" where in a similar line up of Persians, Iraqis and Jews we might be quite a bit more challenged.

And furthermore, I don't know about you but my "Armenian sensors" are very sharp and I have made and continue to make the sharpest distinctions between Armenians, Persians, and Jews (Iraqis are not a people, they contian Arabs and Kurds, and other minorities since Iraq is simply a name given when Britain cut it up as such) since in my school all three of them flourish. Also, I can make the distinction between Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans. All this is because of me being "racially conscious".Achkerov kute.
