    I really wouldn't use very old racist typologies. If you were, you'd say she was of the Armenoid sub-race.

    Some Nazi thoughts on the "armenoid" sub-race

    In his works, Hans F.K. Günther portrayed the Jewish people as a specifically non-European racial mixture comprising Armenoid, Semitic, and Negroid elements.

    The German physical anthropologist Egon Freiherr von Eickstedt characterized the Jews as a racial mixture that is primarily of the Armenoid type.

    According to Croatian fascist Ustaše ideologists, only 5% of Croats, but 35% of Serbs were of the Armenoid race.

    They described the race as being "characterized by a dark complexion and a personality prone to trickery, fawning and cheating".

    In the early 1900s in the US:

    Armenians were also vilified for being stereotypically thievish and dishonest. Adults and children alike regularly faced racial invectives such as “dirty black Armenian,” “low-class Jew,” and – most commonly – “Fresno Indian.”

    I think Armenians are generally seen as white in anglo countries, but it's not a stable category.
