It depends on one’s definition of “White”. She is definitely Caucasian in every sense of the word. According to US legal definition, she is “White” being a descendant of people from the regions West of/and including the Middle East. Thus most Arabs, Persians, (and North Africans) are defined as such.
Misak Ohanes Papazian was born in Erzurum, Turkey.
She also looks kinda Middle Eastern.
Armenians *are* white.
Not really…although define the term
Armenia is a country in Europe. I have never heard anyone say Armenians are anything other than white or European. I think you might be confused, it makes me want to look at your other posts on this site…
Armenia is geographically apart of Asia.
