Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian is an American model, actor, and fashion designer. She is best known for her reality show Keeping up With the Kardashians. Although Kardashian isn't fully Armenian, many of her fans just consider her Armenian. Her dad was the one who was Armenian and her mom is part Italian and American. As a matter of fact, Kim and her family aren't very cultural. They don't know much about the Armenian traditions and history. Although some believe that the Kardashian family represents the Armenian race, they aren't even close to representing a whole ethnic group. People have picked the wrong family to represent the Armenian race. There are many other famous Armenians who are more suitable in representing their culture. Kim Kardashian can't speak, read, or write in Armenian. It would be nice if Famous Armenian people in Hollywood would want to be nice role models for Armenian people. Since Kim Kardashian is such a well-known reality star, she has a great opportunity to set good examples but she chooses otherwise. If you ask any elderly Armenian man or women what they think of Kim Kardashian and her family, they would tell you that they are ashamed. Their family portrays Armenians in a certain way that isn't what the Armenian culture is really about. A lot more people would know more about the Armenian culture and its traditions if famous and even political figures were able to correctly inform its listeners. I will say that Kardashian has made an effort to have the Armenian Genocide recognized and each year she continues to demand for its recognition.
