Let's face it, the only reason why ppl would call her a minority is because she's Muslim and not eastern Orthodox or Zoroastrian. If she were the latter, she'd be a white "ethnic". That's how America treated folks from eastern Europe (yes, this includes the near east) for much of the past century and a half.
Asians are no longer "really" a minority because they don't complain much
Many Asians can't pass for Italian, Greek, or Armenian and thus, are still a minority. Most fair skinned Persians, Syrians, Turks, etc, are in effect ... Armenians of the east.
Natalie Aghdamian, an Armenian-American pretending to be Nasim Najafi Aghdam, because no one would believe that a happy Armenian would go in a killing spree so she disguised herself as a Muslim Iranian, to get the media attention that she needed for her mass murder.
@Rin My wife is of Armenian origin and looks quite a bit like that, or did when she was younger. Only much happier.
Her family would be very interested if you had some evidence that Natalie was Armenian.
A long time ago, before Islam, the "Barmakian" clan was Persian. Yes, these are the famous jewelers.

Later, as a result of Islamic scumbags, they moved from Persia to pre-Soviet Armenia and became Armenian.
Today, the namesake of Barmakian is a famous jeweler of Armenian descent.
Put the pieces together .. many ppl of Armenian origin have Persian and other pre-Islamic ethnic backgrounds within them, with the idea of resisting Islam, by joining a non-Islamic nation-state.
From what I understand, the flow was entirely in one direction: from Christian to Muslim. Some Armenians became Muslims by force, or to escape persecution. During the Armenian genocide, many Armenian girls were sold to Turkish families.
But I've never heard of anyone "becoming" Armenian. I like the Armenians, but I don't think they would accept any outsiders as one of them.
But now they are very clannish and tight-knit. It just doesn't seem possible to become one of them because they all know each other and are related.
That's ok from today's perspective ... that's why I'd brought up the Barmakians. They were originally Persians but later, became Armenian, as a result of the Islamification of the near east. The last three letters 'ians', added to the Barmak, makes the Armenian connection.
This is what you're missing Pat ... it has nothing to do with the race/ethnicity of these ppls, it's about Islam vs Christianity/Buddhism/Zoroastrianism/etc which is the problem.
A lot of ppl would get along if they realized that for the vast percent of the majority, their ancestors had some connection of sorts. The problem is that religion has kept these ppl at each others' throats.
Yes, and the FBI is totally corrupt. Only Trump and his cabinet have any integrity. When you look up integrity in the dictionary, it has Donald Trumps photo next to the definition.

It's fraud with intent to deceive. Plain and simple.
Armenians are white, get over it.
Read: Armenian "ethnic" features are in Turkish, Persian, and Syrian ppls. The difference is Orthodox Christian vs Islam.

Pat, stop living in the modern age.
This was during the middle ages, when ppl of all different ethnicities were fleeing from the Caliphate of Babylon.
And yes, the Barmakians were not originally Armenians but Persian (Buddhists or Zoroastrians) who didn't want to join forces with a bunch of Arabs.
WTF. It sounds like you are saying......it's OK for them to fraudulently make her look white, because Armenians are white. ????
She isn't any darker than an average Sicilian Italian .. so why isn't she white?
I don't know about long ago, but I suppose it's possible. Armenia did have several kingdoms over the centuries.
But now they are very clannish and tight-knit. It just doesn't seem possible to become one of them because they all know each other and are related.

I don't care if she is green. Did they try to deceive everyone by changing the color of her eyes and skin? Why would they do that?
Really, the only difference is Eastern Orthodox vs Muslim. Otherwise, the ethnic features are almost the same.
They wanted it to look like a {British-French-German} Yankee going on a killing spree over an ethnic.
So either they don't yet have enough data to distinguish the various groups, or you can't really distinguish them.
I'm a bit annoyed that 23andme calls me half "British and Irish", but maybe it's hard to draw a cutoff line genetically.
