Armenian stereotypes

[Crimson Glow]

I agree with everything you mentioned above, however, the "nigger wannabe" is very counter productive. It would be much better if Armenians emulated anything, but "black culture" because "black culture" is not a tool of progression. Furthermore, it places Armenians with a socio-economic group that in general is at the bottom of the barrel.

Agreed. I certainly wasn't saying I supported the hip hop/gangsta' trend. I was just saying that it's not unique to us. I just have a hard time understanding why people of ethnicities foreign to America do this. "Whitie", anglo Americans, I can understand. I don't agree with it, but I can see why a people with no sense of place in history, no true culture (all of this country's culture is based on trends set by the media, not tradition or heritage), etc would want something to adopt. This is the very same reason why many of my friends have taken so much interest in Armenian culture. But Asians, Armenians, Hispanics, Indians, etc....these people have a culture, a history, traditions, etc...for lack of a better term, "something to do". Why the f*ck would you want to adopt such a negative, low class "style" in its place?

Thats so true and analyzed very realistically. I totally agree.

*Bows* Thank you, sir.

You know what the problem is with you Cali Hyes? You're so used to living around Armenians, that you've failed to realize most of the characteristics you attribute to our nationality is true of man kind in general. They're not unique to Armenians by any means. Men of any culture think with their d*cks, members of any culture bash each other, thinking one is superior to the other, the "nigger wannabe" fad is popular with many cultures, etc. There may be some traits or elements that are more specific to Armenians, but those are seldom the ones I see mentioned. So, what so many of you say is "typical of Armenians" throughout this forum, should actually be considered "typical of people". EVERYone's an assh*le, so sorry, you're not special!

Actually, the whole "wanting to be black" thing is seen here as well, not just by Armenians. Ever since high school, I saw it among Hispanics, among Asians, so it is very prevalent.

I totally agree with you on everything except the part where you understand how WASP's can adopt and support the hip hop trend so evident in today's society. They may not have the rich cultural traditions Armenians and other ethnicities have, but they still can research their roots and past history. ex. England's history. Other than that I think your right.

He wasnt saying only Armenians are 'wanting to be black'. The whole point of his post was that it's typical of all people(humans) to do such a thing, not just a specific ethnicity like Armenians for example.

I don't know, is a unibrow a stereotype? I'd say it is a characteristic, like having a big nose...

ckbejug lol, that was so funny...

[sad_eyes]

people who think they know everything. thats another.

[ckBejug]

When they actually do know 99% of everyday, common sense, no-sh!t-sherlock things and can hold their own if asked to prove that they know everything. That's yet another.




p.s. I wasn't making fun or anything. My reply to you wasn't supposed to be funny. It was supposed to be an obvious reply to your oops.


Yet another stereotype-- bull-headed stubbornness and argumentativeness.

Some people had very bad experiences with guys, and it's very sad when u hear these negative opinions about armenian guys, and in general about guys from educated people. So sad, that they took their degrees and they still lack the opemindness. Get over it, once was bad that doesnt mean every single person is like that. Jesus, take some cold shower refresh your brains and then hate people if the cold shower didnt help.
Armenian guys are the best period. Stop comparing eveyone with one
category that seems to be minority (rabiz). They seem majority because they are show offs, thats all. PLus, this goes to one person from the forum who hates californian armenians.---> Instead of making an opinion about a place and people that you dont know, pay some visit here, meet some armenians and later organize and present your opinion.
