Anonymous asked: If you don't think white Europeans can experience racism, look up the Armenian Genocide. forreal.

i can picture this anon writing this ask, thinking haha checkmate. well let me drop some knowledge on you.

by referring to armenians as white, you are using westernized (specifically american) standards to define their whiteness. did you know that the US doesn’t even recognize the armenian genocide for what it was–a genocide? nope, take a gander here to read some articles about how america won’t refer to it as a genocide, only a massacre, and how armenians are fighting to be heard over the western political agenda.

assimilating the armenian people into the cozy “white” category was just a way for the world to be able to gloss over them. if you were so concerned about people knowing the truth about the armenian genocide, you should have taken the time to read from a source that wasn’t based out of the west so you could be spreading truth instead of using a terrible tragedy as a game piece to try and forge some sort of stalemate against us.

fun fact: under the US census, middle-eastern people are also considered white. funny how america is allowed to be so selective about when they are and when they are not “white” enough. when it’s easy, middle-eastern people are white. when they need someone to blame, middle-eastern people are “terrorists”.

look at a map. tell me where armenia is. now look up what the native armenians’ lands used to be. does that seem “white european” to you?

if you are armenian, i am so sorry that you have been so brainwashed. please make a concentrated effort to reconnect with your true heritage.

if you aren’t, fuck off.
