Originally posted by SagGal so true. I will never call myself an American. Just plain old American, no way. I'm Armenian. My bloods is Armenian and will stay like that. Even when I have kids they will be Armenian.
So what if, I lived in China I would call myself Chinese? YA RIGHT. lol
I don't really consider myself a racist although I guess I can be. Like If I hate a black person for doing something bad, I do find myself using those negative words that are used towards them. Generally, i think that there is bad in every ethnicity and race. Racism always spreads further and further.

Did you not read what he said at all? He is saying that AMERICAN is just a lousy title. Anyone that is a citizen of the United States of American is AN AMERICAN. The only difference is that most of the AMERICANS here are earlier immigrants than most Armenians (in large amounts that is.)
As for considering myself "American" well I will do that only when it is sometimes necessary like in school or when I am discriminated against. That s right, just because I say I am an AMERICAN that does not change the fact that I am still an Armenian. Remember, AMERICAN is a label for those mostly confused with their identity. National labels given to you from any nation does NOT change your blood or heritage because you are what you are born as, end of story. Also, if you were to live in "China" by their LAW yes you would be considered and would have earned citizenship as a CHINESE under and only their nation, if you go anywhere else you are your blood and still are your ethnicity, which is Armenian, unless you earn citizenship in another nation.
