ExtraHye Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 I met this guy last weekend at a party, and we seemed to get along fine. We exchanged numbers and everything. (we were speaking in English)... But then he ignored me the rest of the day as soon as he found out I'm not Libanantsee... <_< Do a lot of Armenians feel this way? I've always thought that all Armenians were the same... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sip Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 What? You're not lebanantsee? Weeeeeeeeel... I know I'm not going to answer to you anymore. But I suspect this guy named Accelerated will soon pop in here to say hello. Watch out for him, he just got a new cel phone so the only reason he'll ask your number is to program it into his phone.

Angelina Posted October 13, 2003 Report Share Posted October 13, 2003 Hi extra hye I feel so sorry for those people who treat others that way i don't think it is right to judge others that way I think we are all armenians no matther we all came from we need to treat each one with dignity, but i can understand what you feelings are like because my fiance is armenian who was born in tehran he felt the same . He used to say we cook differently, speak differently etc.. I said then forget me if you consider me not armeniani it is fine go on with your life and good luck finding the one that speaks the same armenian as you do, cooks the same etc... then later on he apologized. I guess some people do those mastakes and some understand later on some don't which is unfortanate, but do not pay to much attention. Later or sooner they might come to conclusion that we are all the same people it was not our choice to go through war and live our homes but in our heart we all armenians, and we do not need to make each other feel bad just because they gruw up in a forien country. I hope he relaizes he is making a big mstake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varduhi Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Do a lot of Armenians feel this way? I've always thought that all Armenians were the same... Extrahye, I can’t speak on behalf of all Armenians but I do not discriminate and I never will. I have never been in your situation, and I hope I never experience such treatment from our fellow Armenians. Also it is his loss not yours, the way he acted was very childish. Yes we are the SAME. It doesn’t matter if we are Lebanoni hayer, Tehrani, Syriai, Hayastani, Americai and etc..... you keep thinking the same way, and don’t let other foolish people disappoint you. Keep thinking the way we do because WE ARE THE SAME…… Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturne Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 As much as we'd like to say we're the same, blah blah... we're not and each "type" of armenian, chooses their "type" over the other. most persian armenians mesh well with persian armenians,hayastanci's w/ hayastanci's and beriutahyes w/ beirutahyes. and that's bcuz each group grows up in their own crowd and feels more comf w/ what theyre familiar with. that's reality people, look around you a little hard and youll see the differentiation, and how each sect is isolated from one another... to a certain extent of course. and this is GENERALLY speaking, it's not for a certain few people who understand that hyeh, hye e. And Extra, it's sad to hear that it happened to you personally, but dont take it personally, it's not too uncommon. it's not a perfect world out there.

Armat Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 As much as we'd like to say we're the same, blah blah... we're not and each "type" of armenian, chooses their "type" over the other. NocturnePerhaps that was true say twenty, thirty years ego but things have dramatically changed. My beautiful niece Iranian Armenian married to a Lebanese Armenian guy and they are totally in love and are enjoying their union. You may say it is the exception but I have seen plenty of mixed Armenian unions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he relaizes he is making a big mstake. Thanks Anglina. He didn't make me feel bad only because we never got a chance to really know each other. I was just surprised that someone would feel that way in this day of age. fixed quotes. Harut Edited October 14, 2003 by Harut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but most of us were born or raised in the United States. I could be wrong, but more Armenians have a lot more in common now then they used to. And Extra, it's sad to hear that it happened to you personally, but dont take it personally, it's not too uncommon. it's not a perfect world out there. None taken, It's just that something like this had never happend to me before. I was just asking if this was a commen thing. fixed quotes.

THOTH Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Your not going to answer me anymore? But your the only reason I joined this forum Thanks, seems like a cool place... ooooh Sip...looks like you got yourself an admirer! LOL Seriously - Extra Hye - I think you've made some good points here. Of course living in the States these factors of where your family was from should be less. There certainly are (cultural) diferences (but really now...your here in the USA...) - and some like challenges anyway and like to take on & learn new things etc. I would say forget this guy - and ask yourself - do you want someone with his close minded attitudes anyway? Sounds to me that you are beyond such and wouldn't be happy with him - particualrly in the long run. So don't settle for such - I'm sure that you can do better...good luck! (Sip lives in Wisconsin BTW...yes its cold and bleak up there...but I'm sure he will warm things up fine for you there...LOL ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armen Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 (edited) Armenians in Armenia have already been "equal" between 1920-1991. All I can say: universal equality sucks no matter what issue you discuss.I think we should consider this matter from different perspectives: political, economic and spiritual (cultural?)."Being equally Armenian with regard to Armenianness" - issue would envolve political and cultural factors of Armenian life. While politics requires collective action with an ultimate aim to establish security, spiritual-cultural life is totally individual. We must be politically equal, which means: the same amount of security for everyone. Equalty in cultural life is simply a nonsense. Here comes the question of who sets the standards and criterions for an Armenian cultural mentality. If we could ever feel like a nation with statehood mentality that would be Armenia itself. Armenia's present collective mentality is not Armenian, and so is the Diaspora's. We shall create the Armenian mentality first and we must create it in Armenia.
