is she considered ”mixed” in north america?
Not sure about Mexicans and Canadians, and the rest of the nations south of Mexico, but most Americans don’t have a strong grasp on what to consider Armenians. I think the generalized consensus is that Armenians are “Middle Eastern” and thus not white. So yeah people would say she’s mixed if they knew her heritage, but no if they were to judge by looks alone.
Thanks for the polite and informative reply, bet your folks raised you well, unlike some rude and bossy people here…
Do you imply people looking at her would scream “wow, what a stunning “mixed” woman”?
Maybe a pre-20th century racist would, but really they might find her unappealing since she doesn’t reflect the Caucasian, more specifically Nordic, ideal of beauty, which is usually the pinnacle of aesthetic for those people.

Why you can’t resist to do dumb questions.
Why is it dumb to want a foreign perspective?
He read “Armenian” and started fantasying about her public racial profiling, She is just one quarter Armenian.
Maybe it was just curiosity. Or maybe I made an incorrect inference, maybe he was actually asking about the mix of Slavic, Germanic, Celtic/Gaelic and West Asian heritage, and whether that hodgepodge of admixture is looked upon as a mixed in general in NA.
Brazil’s population has a highly admixed population, they look at racial and ethnic categories differently than other nations. A Brazilian curious about how other nationalities view races seems like a normal question to pose.
In the US? No. Armenians aren’t considered to not be “white.” Depending on who you ask, they might be considered “ethnic” – a term still used by some for some non-Anglo white people – but they’d still be considered white.
The white/POC classification is not made for people from West Asia and North Africa (ex : the most racist candidate in France would not be considered white in the US).

Didn’t he look Armenian too?

Really depends on who you ask. Sad reality is Americans are very ignorant to world geography and probably wouldn’t know where Armenia was on the map/globe. Most modern United States citizens don’t have a well defined sense of race and/or the variants of ethnicities across the globe.
You could show them a picture of say one of the Kardashians, and it’d be a, half say they’re white, half say no not white.
In a poll without visual aids, you could ask about Armenians as a whole, and tell them Armenia is near the middle east, if you said west Asia you’d probably get a blank stare or a nervous unsure nod, and many people, would say then “no those people aren’t white.”
Americans really hold onto the whites come from Europe concept. If you told most Americans that Arabs and Iranians got to check the Caucasian box on the US census, they’d be surprised. Americans conflate white and Caucasian all the time.
Where are you from?
Florida.

Add English to ethnicity (Chadsey line)
Erin’s paternal grandparents are likely Kenneth Brady and Theresa Gawlak.
Polish too?
Gawlaks are Polish. That’s the main reason I think Theresa Gawlak is her grandmother, but I can’t find a death record or marriage record to confirm that it is the right Theresa.
daughter of Francis “Frank” Brady and Judith Krauth
paternal grandmother is named Theresa
