Question

Answer 1

n***s like to use the term aryan.

Answer 2

Usually, this sort of information goes back to some Greek source. Before Jesus, Greece was the information center of the world and people came from all parts of the world and shared information.  The place was called a name that we get the word "museum" from.  After Christianity formed it was burned down maybe by the Christians but it could have just been blamed on them.

Answer 3

The was a group of people now called the Indo-Europeans. They now populate most of Europe and are often called Aryans. The word Aryan is another form of the same word as Europe. Aryan and Europe are cognates.

Answer 5

Aryan is commonly today in the context you mean it used to describe the descendants of the 6 Germanic tribes. Aryan is not synonymous with white skin. Nor does it mean that one has to be blue eyed or blond haired which is a common misconception. For example Celts (Irish, some Scottish) or Slavs (A lot of Ukrainians, Russians, etc..) were viewed as inferior as well since they did not descend from the original German tribes.

The theory was that the Aryans were the Übermenschen and all others Untermenschen. It was the duty of the Aryan race to take it's rightful place at the pedestal of human civilization. Bring about a golden age of perfection by eliminating all those unworthy of life (mentally disabled, physically disabled, homosexuals, groups seen as unwilling to assimilate/anti-social [gypsies, jews, etc..] and subjugating those inferior.

As for the connection to Iran/India. You are right in saying that the original Aryans did come from there. However the belief was that the Germanic tribes originated from modern day Tibet/Iran/Northern India region before emigrating to modern day Europe. Hence all the heavy n**i symbology from ancient Iran/Tibet/India. The Persians (note Persians is not synonymous with Iranian, since the population of Iran is 70% Azeri [Turks] and 30% Persian) still carry many features which are prominent in the Germanic phenotype, such as pale skin, green eyes/blue eyes, light brown hair, etc.. [Check google for pictures of persians]  So a relation is more than likely. Hitler even stated that the Persians were those that stayed behind during the great migration of the Germanic tribes and hence were Aryans. The name of the country "Iran" where the Persians live is a deviation of the word "Aryan."

Answer 6

only a few of the germans still call themselves aryans (neo-n***s), and that's because aryan basically means superior

it goes back to nazism, because they thought they were superior to all other races

Answer 7

Europeans don't call themselves Aryans....

Aryan is an English word derived from the Sanskrit "Ārya" meaning "noble" or "honorable". The Avestan cognate is "Airya" and the Old Persian equivalent is "Ariya". It is widely held to have been used as an ethnic self-designation of the Proto-Indo-Iranians[citation needed]. Since, in the 19th century, the Indo-Iranians were the most ancient known speakers of Indo-European languages, the word Aryan was adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian people, but also to Indo-European speakers as a whole.

In Europe, the concept of an Aryan race became influential in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as linguists and ethnologists argued that speakers of these Indo-European languages constitute a distinctive race, descended from an ancient people, who were referred to as the "primitive Aryans", but are now known as Proto-Indo-Europeans.

In linguistics, Aryan is most often used in the context of the sub-branch of Indo-Iranian languages referred to as Indo-Aryan languages.

The "Aryan race" is a concept in European culture that was influential in the period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It derives from the idea that the original speakers of the Indo-European languages and their descendants up to the present day constitute a distinctive race. Belief in the existence of the "Aryan race" is sometimes referred to as Aryanism (not to be confused with the unrelated Christian religious belief known as Arianism). An identical belief, but with broader inclusivity, is referred to as pan-Aryanism.

Answer 8

I suspect it was some classical scholar of Indo-European historical linguistics or a 19th century anthropologist who suggested the term Arya to refer to Europeans. It is difficult to determine who was the first; some have suggested that it was Max Muller, but that view, though popular, has been discredited.

"Racial interpretations of the term

Max Müller is often identified as the first writer to speak of an Aryan "race" in English. In his Lectures on the Science of Language in 1861[5] he referred to Aryans as a 'race' of people. However, when this was interpreted to imply a biologically distinct sub-group of humanity, he soon clarified that he simply meant a line of descent, insisting that it was very dangerous to mix linguistics and anthropology. "The Science of Language and the Science of Man cannot be kept too much asunder…I must repeat what I have said many times before, it would be wrong to speak of Aryan blood as of dolichocephalic grammar".[6] He restated his opposition to this method in 1888 in his essay Biographies of words and the home of the Aryas.[5]"

Answer 9

Most Europeans would NOT consider theirselves Aryans. But I'll explain why that term came to be used for Germanic Europeans...

Early on in the study of Indo-European language, Christian thought still permeated peoples minds in those days. Christian thought would say that God created people perfectly and they then degenerated because of "original sin".

Also during the early study of Indo-Europeans, they were called Aryans, yes, from the Sanskrit word(which refers to a certain type of person that has been interpreted to mean enlightened people, not indians, iranians, or any asians specifically).

Eventualy, people like the n***s started looking for "original, pure Aryans" thinking they would have been perfect beings. Of course the n***s thought THEY were true Aryans, so tried to work around that and make everything look as if that were true. Interestingly enough, Germanic languages are some of the most recently developed Indo-European languages, so it's funny to me that they tried to rationalise their ideas.

Answer 10

This is a double barrelled question. You are assuming most Europeans call themselves Aryans.

Many Western Europeans call themselves Keltic or Celtic.

Some refer to themselves as Germanic or Latin.

Many Eastern Europeans might call themselves Caucasians.

Some Iranians and Indians consider themselves Aryans.... and are correct.
