View submission: Glendale, California had their renaming ceremony tonight changing two city blocks to Artsakh

View parent comment

It's great, actually. Racists will always find something to complain about. In a city with more Armenians than any other group, having two blocks renamed to Artsakh street is a tiny thing.

I would like to see a Saroyan Street, a Deukmejian Street, a Yerevan Street and others as well, in Glendale, in Los Angeles, in Fresno, in Montebello and in other places with Armenian communities.

It's not just blind racism actually. People have legitimate reasons to dislike their Armenian neighbors, not least of which being that many Armenians are themselves some of the most racist people in LA.

This is ridiculous. You live in America not Armenia. What you’re saying has no relevance to US history. That’s like if Americans had a large population in some district of Armenia and demanded a street to be named George Washington or Washington DC.
