One time we had this guy covering a shift at the coffee shop and it somehow came out over the course of regular small talk with us that he was Armenian. He got this really tired distant look in his eyes and said “yeah, you know what people always think about when they find out.” Everyone nods and I figure we’re all on the same page so it doesn’t need to be said, and I’m about to move on when someone pipes up “the Kardashians!” He sighs and nods, and I, unable to help myself go “oh” and then very quietly “I thought we were talking about the Armenian genocide.”

Everyone is stunned for a moment, except for the guy who suddenly lights up and says, in a remarkably delighted tone of voice: “that’s the first time anyone has ever mentioned the Armenian genocide!”

I actually had no idea the Kadashians were Armenian.
