White boy? You've got to be kidding me

[surferarmo]

This is a serious question here. Now for all you "gangstas" out there, what goes through your mind when you call another armenian "white boy" or "white girl?" I have a lot of armo friends who are guilty of this. I surf, I skate and listen to punk. I was joking around with this bro of mine, and he said that I was a white boy, and the joke stopped right there. I have heard other armenians do that to eachother. We are Armenian. What defines Armenian as you know it? Do I have to drive a thugged out impala with rims be fat and listen to Noreaga to be Armenian? If I am a white boy, then what the xxxx are you?

i'm white and i dont give a xxxx what anyone says about it.

IM ARMENIAN

so you're not white? the color of your skin is not white (by white i dont mean white as in the color of paint white or something, i mean skin white, like a peachy color).

Well if you want to get techincal, I am tan. But that is not the point. It has nothing to do with skin color. You must have misread my question. Some Armenian guy that listens to rap, same blood as me, same color as me, same food, language and blah blah, can call me a white boy. I dont get it. I have no problem being white, cause I dont really care, but what bothers me is that other Armenians who call Armenians white boys think they are somthing else. I just want to know what they think they are....a black dude, some mexican vato. just wondering. Lets put it this way so you can understand. My brother listens to rap, I listen to punk, if he called me a white boy, it would be so ridiculous, it wouldnt even be funny. It would be like two black people, one listens to country, the other listens to rap and the one that listens to rap calls the other guy a white boy. Doesnt make any sense.

I don't know, there really is a weird phenomenon going on. Like this armenian guy who did not get why I was listening to armenian music on my discman. It's as if things shouldn't be so, and an armenian listening to tupac was just a lot more understandable. Not only are they losing their culture, they are adapting another one as their own (in this case the whole gangsta rap thing), while forgetting they are white, but not saying they are black either....confused yet? cause i've been so for a while...it truly is mind-boggling... :?

I have been confused for the longest time. I am still trying to understand how this phenomena works.

i call my friends "white boy" and "whitey" all the time. as a matter of fact, i just did about 5 minutes ago (i'm in school now). they know i'm joking around with them, and i know that i'm not something else from them. now if i'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that your friends make fun of you for being white, while they themselves are white too?

No. I just used the example of my friends. You should read Baron Dants' post. I put it below my little response. One Armenian who listens to rap, is a "baller," and cuts his hair like some kook wanna be gangsta thinks he is something else other than white. I have seen these people call other Armenians white boy and be very serious about it. I once got in a verbal arguement with someone like this. He is Armenian, and he called me white boy. I looked at him, and I was like "What the xxxx are you?" It seems as if these people think they are something else. And it doesnt make sense.

it really is rediculous that all these white kids are acting black as if it will get them further in life faster. i dont mean to be racist when i say this, but being black can only slow your societal development. and then on top of that, being white and ACTING black will make people have less respect for you in the morning.
