Re: Armenian White Nationalism
[QUOTE=jgk3
About being white, I recommend you take a course on anthropology or something, it'll be an eye-opener for you.

Actually I know all the theories for and against this arguement which is why I chose to not believe we are not white. I know all about, the different theories, I also do know that "white" is not an actual scientific term. It is more a social term, which in my opinion does not include Armenians. If you actually do get more into anthropolgy you would understand there are other theories that do link Armenians closer to persians, and other middle easterners, then europeans. I have read both theories and i tend to believe one over the other, so sure me. You would also know if you took any anthropolgy courses, that the origins of Armenians are obscure, and no one here, can 100% validate their theory as 100% factual. So you can sit here and bark all you want, and think you have all the facts, but the truth is we are all just theorizing. Any anthropoligist will tell you there is no decisive conclusion to our origins.
Therefore I take the meaning of white on a social level, since it is a social term. In my opinion we are not white, so get over it. It is the opinion of a lot of people also, so if you dont like it tough.
If you want to be scientic, then yes we are caucasian, but like i keep saying so are arabs and east indians. So if you want to speak anthropology, there is no such thing as a "brown race". There is just Negroid, mongloid, caucasian, Australoid, and Native Indian. So keep your definitions within these boxes, if you want to go by those theories, Middle eastern and Indian by default would have to be caucasian, without exception. Not some of them are and some are not.
Like you said, we have differing opinions, and I am not getting emotional at all, are you?
