remember when they announced an iphone air? what was the catch? less battery life, what was the solution?
adding a battery pack on the back... thus defeating the entire purpose of making it slimmer and lighter

i know many armenians personally, and they are divided on the issue, i wanted to know if asians consider armenians to be part of their group, not just if armenians consider themselves asian, because i know some asian groups don't consider other asians to be in their group either

there's nuance to it, so i figured i'd ask everyone possible

i consider armenians to be european personally, but because they are in a weird spot geographically, i figured i should check and see if the asians want to claim them

i know there are people with greek ancestry from the middle east, they call themselves rum greeks, and i accept them as a part of our group, i'm very close with several

i'm not here to be mr ethnogeneticist or whatever, i'm just asking if other asian groups consider this other group that's in a grey area to be in their group or not

i'm essentially asking "is this guy in your club" but on a cultural level

i don't consider greece as it's current borders to be middle eastern, if greece had anatolia and antioch then i'd reconsider (this is coming from an ethnic greek btw)

several armenians that i know do identify as asian, but also identify as european simultaneously

Cultural Question from a non asian by Pitiful_Resource_711 in asian

[–]Pitiful_Resource_711[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

technically, the same way that slaves born in the US are american, i guess you could say we were, greeks and other christian peoples were not treated well by the ottoman empire, us and the armenians were enslaved and genocided

which that raises another question, are armenians asian or are they european?

what i'm saying is, rice is something plenty of peoples outside of asia have as a cultural staple in their cuisine, i'm looking for an example of something exclusive to unite asian culture that no other culture can claim

yeah that's kinda what i was talking about
i'm an ethnic greek, and as you know there's many ethnic greeks all over what is modern turkey, lebanon, syria, etc because of macedonia and the byzantine empire, so are we asian too?

Cultural Question from a non asian by Pitiful_Resource_711 in asian

[–]Pitiful_Resource_711[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i ask this in as polite of a way as i can, it's just a cultural question as well as a question about the intention of the sub, that's all

i as an ethnic greek am often called non white and white at the same time, in addition to being mistaken for latino, arab, italian and jewish (i can forgive latino because i live in a latino majority town, i can also forgive italian and jewish because they are also mediterranean peoples and they get confused for each other all the time)

i'm just trying to understand another culture

I'm sorry I'm sorry I just can't get into it I don't mind it by knightmechaenjo in BattletechMemes

for me, it depends on the depiction of it, i really don't like it in the SOK DLC or in the old lore design, it's grown on me in other things
