Always Armenian. But yeah, sometimes you have to explain the "but I'm born in Syria and live in Canada" which eventually turns into one more odar knowing about the genocide.

They ask that in job interviews? I think it's illlegal to do that here...

Not all are. Some are mixed. Depends on what you define "white" as. If it includes not-so-dark hispanics, then yeah, it might include the barskahyes and the Armenians with darker skin-tone.

Im talking about white who are considered white, like the white which is known as white. Armenian is not race to be in seperate category. We belong to the arian race, eventhough we go mixed with assyrian,persians, and f$%%^ turks. We are white!!!! we use to be blond before, but unfortunately we got mixed generations by generations with those above.

yes. so most of us aren't Aryans anymore. White nationalists would consider *most* (not all) Armenians "muds".

This question always has a fine print that says

Not required, or optional. This company doesn't discriminate against race color creed or religion. For Census and processing only.



LOL

Armenians are actually Caucasian which translates to white, but I always fill in other and Armenian on the line. Or if there isn't an other option I make an Armenian option on the bottom and choose that.

In reality it should be Caucasian, not of Oriental, Slavic, or Mongoloid decent.
