Would you marry a person who isn't Armenian?

It's not that it's fearing me. It is just that i'm not convinced.
Eastern Europe, despite a wide opening to the "external" world, keeps its own identity.

It agree more or less with what we were talking about on the "racism" thread (I swear i'll answer, but it takes too much time to me to write in english)
I mean, these countries are small but homogeneous.

I read in sociology that the third generation usually goes back to their roots(not physically)

But third generation is too late, language has almost completely disapeared.
And i disagree by the way not because i want to contradict you, because i'm seing a lot of third generation around, staying there more french than french themselves ...

Sociology is stupid. Assimilation cannot be reversed. Look at the Armenians in Eastern Europe.

You're talking about assimilation with a complete lost of armenian culture, which is rather categorical.
There is armenians in singapour.

I can't help comparing our situation to the jewish one. Assimilation, but still this difference.

Jews have not assimilated.

as long as the assimilation is not triggered by self-efacement, the culture can still be preserved even though you take on the influence and characteristics of the society.

Originally posted by Nimrod Yes, considering that Armenians are on the verge of extinction. We really cannot afford to pretend we are like others when we are in reality the opposite. Therefore, for compatibility and trust and cultural reasons to increase and for the sake of us, YES I prefer an Armenian which matters a lot since other ethnicities are thriving with a rich overpopulation meanwhile Armenians are too busy defiling themselves and destroying the cultural ID by marrying outside their kind. Unfortunately, I doubt I will end up marrying an Armenian because so many of them have not even impressed or enlightened me in any way. They have just focused their efforts on sycophancy and tagging along to trends while trying to jump onto a greater height that is not there, it is just pathetic.

Stop saying that armenians are on the verge of exctinction. And get up you ass xxxxing all around you, and breed little armenian kids.

So pessimistic.
now if you're strong enough and kick you wife's ass, whatever she is, your kids will be armenian

You are just redundant. There is no way, and no way to reject your responsibilities on your presumed wife. You are responsible for your children, and if they don't grow armenian, it is all your fault.

So, marry anybody you want, the community is watching you and wants armenian children.

I don't define assimilation by self-efacement.
Assimilation is getting along with the country's culture.

In france, the fact is that people thought that these words were synonyms. Now, the guy around me don't speak armenian, even if they feel like and have an armenian name.
