so thats where caucasian comes from. also, your right in the US caucasian is any white person.
& on that whole interracial thing this is my opinion a armenian=white so if that armenian marries like a french person or whatever its not interracial because that french person is white, also its nobodies business who u marry as long u love that person! also 1 of my friends has 1 of his parents being of mexican descent & the other was of armenian descent, thats an interracial marriage, but who cares!
(me=american w/ 1 parent of armenian descent & 1 parent of irish descent)

i couldn't care less about the person nationality/race. I hate to say it but of the armenian women i have met have been snobbish, ghetto, or cared about material possations to damn much. Iam not saying all armenian women are like this, because i know its not true. The only other armenian in my school is a women and i honestly cant stand her. I want to throw something heavy at her head sometimes.

I think both you and they need to get some education on what the word "caucasian" means.

Sorry to have to break the news to you - but neither you, nor your desired one are actually "Caucasian" unless your or her ancestors have had some Circassian / Abkhazian, Abassian / Mingrelian / etc. blood somewhere down the line. And, given the proximity of Armenia to those nations, she is more likely to have some Caucasian ancestors than you are! However, it hardly matters, since Armenians are "Caucasian" according to the bizzare usage of that word in America.

Aight no caucasian, I'm white. So care to give any input on the that topic? =)

She has made it clear however that her parents do not approve since I am caucasian which at first I did not understand. After a consdierable amount of reading on this subject I now can better grasp why her parents are opposed to the idea of her being with a non-Armenian.

Hello,

Until recently I was unaware of the richness of the Armenian culture and the sense of unity that is present within their communities. I was made aware of all of this due to an amazing woman who I met and since have fallen in love with. She has made it clear however that her parents do not approve since I am caucasian which at first I did not understand. After a consdierable amount of reading on this subject I now can better grasp why her parents are opposed to the idea of her being with a non-Armenian. However I am determined not to let my ethnicity be a problem and am trying to do everything in my power to better learn about the Armenian culture and am trying to learn the language as well. I want to try to win her parents acceptance (since I'm sure approval is only a pipe dream) and am desperately trying to find any resources that will allow me to better educate myself on Armenian culture. I am unsure what kind of reception I will receive on these forums but I refuse to lose the woman who makes me happier than anyone ever has simply because of my ethnicity. Thank you all in advance.

I've always been actively involved in Armenian community. I always thougt i'd marry an Armenian. But I fell in love ourside my ethnicity. There was a lot of bickering and dissing, threats and fights. And that's when I realized that trying to please people who think they're the keepers of culture I lose my own identity. Ethnic identity is important, but we often draw it to such extremes that the identity of an individual in our society is lost completely. I realized that individualism, in any way that you might think of it, is something that's rarely ever appreciated in our culture. Every white raven is looked upon like they're sick or something. We as a nation are very concerned by keeping our national identity, but what about personal identity, should we all be exactly alike?
So here's to the crazy ones, the ones that dare to shine, the ones that dare to keep their individuality and look at things from other prospective. It's always hard, but it's harder to do in our culture.
