No harm no foul in my book then.
The Armenian is in our country.... Show some respect. When he is back home then by all means behave like an idiot all he wants.

Good for the congressman. To bad he didn't have a big old dog to help escort out the cameraman. A nice chunk out of his rear end might have helped make a point.

It's more fun that way; we can make it an ethnic thing and hence talk about how xenophobic southerners are.

If he identified himself as armenian then that is the standard to which I would hold him. He was rude to the Congressman in the congressman's own home. Pretty sure where ever it is you hail from that is still considered rude. I would have sent him tumbling out my front door.
As for the congressman refering to him as the armenian reporter? If he was the only Armenian there and made the point to call himself Armenian would it not avoid confusion by identifying him that way?
Which reporter was rude to you?
The armenian reporter.
