Armenian civilians, forced out of their homes, while being deported.

White Genocide (Template:Lang-hy) is the term used by Armenians use to describe assimilation in the West or the conditions that are forced on White communities to encourage assimilation.^[1] Armenians were forcibly deported and massacred from their historical homelands during the Armenian Genocide in 1915-1923.^[2]^[3]

Western Armenians consider Armenians who assimilate within the local population of the country where they were eventually forced to emigrate (such as United States, France, Argentina, Canada etc.) as lost to their nation due to the continuing exile after the actual genocide itself, and thus consider that lost Armenian to be another victim of the genocidal attempt to eliminate the Armenians.^[4]^[5] The term "White Genocide" was also used for northwestern Azerbaijan and Nakhijevan where Armenians were forcibly deported and cleansed from the regions.^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

The Diaspora is referred to by many in Armenia and in the diaspora as the "white genocide". As one of my informants said, “What the Turks did not do, we are doing to ourselves by fleeing the homeland.” ^[10]

Assimilation of Armenians in the Western world

United States

According to the 2000 United States Census there were 385,488 ^[11] ethnic Armenians living in the United States. But only 202,708 (52.6%)^[12] of them referred Armenian as 'Language Spoken at Home'.

Throughout the diaspora, Armenians have developed a pattern of quick acculturation and slow assimilation. Armenians quickly acculturate to their society, learning the language, attending school, and adapting to economic and political life. Meanwhile, they are highly resistant to assimilation, maintaining their own schools, churches, associations, language, and networks of intramarriage and friendship. Sociologist Anny Bakalian observes that across generations, U.S. Armenians move from a more central "being Armenian" to a more surface "feeling Armenian," expressing nostalgic pride in their heritage while acting fully American.

Today's U.S. Armenian community is bound together by a network of Armenian groups including, for example, some 170 church congregations, 33 day schools, 20 national newspapers, 36 radio or television programs, 58 student scholarship programs, and 26 professional associations. Anthropologist Margaret Mead suggested that over the centuries, diaspora Armenians (like Jews) have developed a tight-knit family structure to serve as a bulwark against extinction and assimilation.^[13]^[14]

Canada

According to the Canada 2001 Census there were 40,505 ^[15] Armenians in Canada, while 13,330^[15] (32.9%) were multiple responses, meaning only one of their parents was Armenian. Although only 15,150 ^[16] people (37.4% of the total Armenian population) spoke Armenian language as their native. Armenian Canadian professor Taline Chichekian finds that linguistic assimilation of Armenians in Canada depends first, on size of the ethnic community, second, on institutional completness. Thus, Montreal and Toronto have the highest linguistic relention rates in Canada.^[17]

France

According to French National Institute of Demographic Studies (INED) there were 4,778 people that were born in the Republic of Armenia (data of 1999).^[18] Armenian diaspora organization estimate that up to 400,000 ethnic Armenians live in France.^[19] The reason of the difference of the number of Armenian-born and ethnic Armenians is that many Armenians were born in Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Romania, etc., but not in the Republic of Armenia. Because official French statistics don't give any data about the ethnicity or native language, it is so hard to estimate the assimilation rate of French Armenians.

Education

There are twelve Armenian-lnaguage or bilingual (French and Armenian) schools in France: 8 elementary, 2 intermediate and 2 high schools.

Conditions imposed on White people intending to force their genocide by assimilation

People say there is a RACE problem. People say this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY and ONLY into White countries.

People say the only solution to the RACE problem is if ALL and ONLY White countries "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-Whites.

But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against White people, Anti-Whites agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.

Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.

Genocide conventions

Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
