A sick mind, as it really does not exist going on the evidence that we are all related. It is a dream stated not a reality. It's example is pure blond blue eyed, brilliant and strong. Complete lie. It was not Adolph Hitler but a movement from the late 18th century that coined the phrase and the image of so called perfection and purity of a Germanic people.\nAryan is an English word derived from the Indian Vedic Sanskrit and Iranian Avestan terms ari-, arya-, ārya-, and/or the extended form aryāna-. The Sanskrit and Old Persian languages both pronounced the word as arya-. Beyond its use as the ethnic self-designation of the Proto-Indo-Iranians, the meaning "noble" has been attached to it in Sanskrit and Persian. In linguistics, it is sometimes still used in reference to the Indo-Iranian language family, but it is primarily restricted to the compound Indo-Aryan, the Indic subgroup of the Indo-Iranian branch\nMax Müller and other 19th century linguists theorized that the term *arya was used as the self-description of the Proto-Indo-Europeans. Following Müller, the term gained an added meaning, being used in the West to refer to what are now called the 'Proto-Indo-Europeans', and, by extension, to the Indo-European speaking peoples as a whole, besides Müller for example by H. Chavée in 1867 (aryaque), but the term in this sense never saw frequent use, precisely for being reserved for "Indo-Iranian" already. G. I. Ascoli in 1854 used arioeuropeo, viz. a compound "Aryo-European" with the same rationale as "Indo-European", the term now current, which has been in frequent use since the 1830s.\n\nUse of "Aryan" for "Indo-European" in academia was obsolete by the 1910s: B. W. Leist in 1888 still titles Alt-Arisches Jus Gentium ("Old Aryan [meaning Indo-European, not Indo-Iranian] Ius Gentium"). P. v. Bradke in 1890 titles Methode und Ergebnisse der arischen (indogermanischen) Altterthumswissenschaft, still using "Aryan", but inserting an explanatory bracket. Otto Schrader in 1917 in his Reallexikon der indogermanischen Altertumskunde under the entry Arier matter-of-factly discusses the Indo-Iranians, without any reference to a possible wider meaning of the term.\n\nAccording to Michael Witzel in his paper Autochthonous Aryans? The Evidence from Old Indian and Iranian Texts, "the use of the word Arya or Aryan to designate the speakers of all Indo-European (IE) languages or as the designation of a particular race is an aberration of many writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and should be avoided."

It seems clear from the hymns of the .Rg-Veda and the Persian Gathas and Avesta that the Vedic Aryans and the Zoroastrians had a common origin. The languages in which Zoroaster preached and the Rsis sang their hymns are almost identical, and Vedic meters are re-produced in the Avesta. Evidently, the two groups of Aryans separated after a violent quarrel, so that several deities of one group - Indra or Jindra, Sarva and Nasatya - were transformed in the other into evil spirits. It is, however, to be noticed that Mitra, Aryama, Vayu and Vrtraghna are divine in both the systems. A period of unity was probably followed by civil war, as envisaged in the fight between Asuras and Devas. \n\nThe Vedic Aryans were warlike, while the Avesta reflects an abhorrence of war. In the period when the ancestors of the Iranians and the Hindus had lived together, Asura had been a term of honour; and the Zoroastrian Ahura Mazda was Asura Mahat, the great Asura. The .Rg-Yeda (III-55-11 & 15) cites several Asura qualities of the Divinities. Varuna, Mitra and several other gods were called Asuras. Later, when differences were accentuated between the two communities, Asura became equivalent to a spirit of evil and Sura came to signify a good spirit. \n\nThe undivided Indo-Iranians must have passed a long time in their Central Asian home. The Indo-Iranian culture and religion have been reconstructed, at least in part, by comparing the Vedas with the Avesta. Before the occupation of Iranian high lands by tribes from the Indo-Iranian original home, the plateau was the seat of a culture that was probably matriarchal, and the people worshipped snake-gods in the manner of India's primitive non-Aryans. It is likely that the pre-Aryan cultures of North- western India and Iran were alike in origin and spirit. \n\nThis ancient cultural link between pre-Aryan Iran and pre- Aryan India, instead of getting strengthened by Aryan migration into the two countries, as could be normally expected, was to all appearances completely severed. Also, there is nothing to show that the Vedic Aryans of India maintained an active cultural relation with their brethren in Iran. \n\nIn the earliest days, while the Aryans of India must have been connected with the Aryans of Iran as friends or as foes, actual historical contact cannot be asserted with any degree of probability. The two peoples turned their backs upon each other, as it were, and developed their distinctive civilisations apparently without the least mutual influence, although in language, culture and religion their similarity in the earliest period had been little short of identity. When, later in history, under the Achaemenids, Greeks, Bactrians and Sakas, the Iranians and the Indians were forced to meet as citizens of the same empire, they met as complete strangers, not as cousins or as scions from the same stock. The earliest literary productions of the Aryan settlers in India were the Rg-Veda, Sama Veda (consisting of chants), Yajur Veda and the Atharva Veda (a composite religious and magical compilation) The Vedas comprise Mantras (hymns ), Brahmanas (ritual and ceremonies), Aranyakas (forest speculations) and the philosophical Upanisads. In the context of This commonly accepted interpretation of the Vedas, it may be recalled that European Orientalists have too often considered them mainly from the theological, anthropological and sociological points of view. A study of the material in its religious aspect is difficult, since even the great commentary of Sayana is in terms of the ideas of his own age. On the presumption that the Vedas originated in primitive times, the Rg-Veda hymns were regarded as the outpourings of a child-like nature worship. John Dowson in his Hindu Classical Dictionary observed: "The Aryan settlers were a pastoral and agricultural people, and they were keenly alive to those influences which affected their prosperity and comfort. They knew the effects of heat and cold, rain and droug

That guy must be retarded. Of course Greeks are white. Caucasian peoples are technically those who originate in a region near the Caucus mountains in Russia, but that's just a technical definition.  Actually all Caucasians belong to the larger Indo-European family, which includes Indians and Persians (Iranians). Hicks and racists incorrectly believe that "whites" must look lilly white in order to classify as white, but that's not the case. Indo-European ("Aryan") people spread throughout many parts of Asia and Europe some ten thousand years ago. The skin color is caused by the pigment melanin. In latitudes where sunlight is less intense (such as Northern Europe) the skin is paler and contains less melanin in order to absorb more ultraviolet radiation (which helps the body create its own vitamin D). People in more southern latitudes became darker from greater melanin in the skin to protect against the harmful side-effects of UV radiation (think of it as a trade-off between the advantages of light skin- making more vitamin D- and the disadvantages- such as skin cancer from UV).  Skin color does not necessarily correlate to the definition of "white" or Caucasian.

Arabs are sons of Abraham, Jews on the other hand is a religion not a race. We call people Jews because their religion is Judaism, and NOT because they are Israelites.

Because in Hitler's mind, the Jews were Untermenschen, i.e., 'underlings' or 'subhumans', who were seen as both biologically inferior and a potential challenge to the superiority of the 'Aryans'.\nHitler's book Mein Kampf makes clear Hitler's racist worldview, dividing up humans based on ancestry. Hitler stated that German "Aryans" were at the top of the hierarchy, and assigned the bottom of the order to Jews and Gypsies. Hitler went on to say that dominated peoples benefit by learning from the superior Aryans. Hitler further claimed that the Jews were conspiring to keep this "master race" from rightfully ruling the world, by diluting its racial and cultural purity and by convincing the Aryans to believe in equality rather than superiority and inferiority. He described the struggle for world domination as an ongoing racial, cultural, and political battle between Aryans and Jews.

There are Mongoloid Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, etc.) and there are Caucasoid Asians (Persians, Arabs, Indians, etc.). Skin color has absolutely nothing to do with race. The term "white" is not meant to be taken literally. Race is more about skull size and bone structure. By definition, Caucasian ("white") people are those whose ancestry originated in not only Europe but North Africa, the Middle East, South Asia as well as much of Central Asia.

Aryans were supposed to be people that the German leader of World War II (He Who Must Not Be Named) considered the ultimate human genotype - blond haired, blue eyed, perfect health, no blemish or genetic illness of any kind.  \n\nWho do I consider an Aryan?  Anyone stupid enough to think that the madman who tried to impose his way thinking on the whole world was right - he wasn't, he was a sick and twisted individual who should have been wiped off the planet before he even grew up.   Those type of people make me sick with their "better than thou" attitudes and ideoligies, and I myself am of German/English descent.

The most basic division of the Indian society is of Aryans and Dravidians. According to this division, nearly 72% of Indians are Aryans and 28% are Dravidians. The north Indians are the descendants of Aryans and the south Indians are Dravidians. The languages spoken in five states of south India are considered Dravidian languages and most of the languages spoken in the north are considered Aryan languages. The general script of the Aryan languages is different from the general script of Dravidian languages. The Indians also distinguish themselves by the general north Indian accent and general south Indian accent.\n\nAccording to general Indian legend, the Aryans arrived in north India somewhere from Iran and southern Russia at around 1500 BC. Before the Aryans, the Dravidian people resided in India. The Aryans disregarded the local cultures. They began conquering and taking control over regions in north India and at the same time pushed the local people southwards or towards the jungles and mountains in north India. According to this historical fact the general division of Indian society is made. North Indians are Aryans and south Indians are Dravidians. But this division isn’t proper because of many reasons.\n\nMany Indians immigrated from one part of India to other parts of India and not all local people of north India were pushed southwards by the Aryans. Some stayed and served the Aryans and others moved to live in the forests and the jungles of north India. Before the arrival of the Aryans there were also other communities in India like Sino-Mongoloids and Austroloids. There were also other foreign immigrations and invaders who arrived in India, from time to time. \n\nThere are many that completely doubt that there was ever any Aryan invasion in India. This skepticism is based on the dating of the Aryan invasion of India and the fact that Hinduism and the caste system are believed to have been established as the result of the meetings between the intruding Aryans and original residents of India, the Dravidians. \n\nThe caste system is believed to have been established by the Aryans. The fair skinned Aryans who occupied parts of India established the caste system, which allowed only them to be the priests (Brahman), aristocracy (Kshatria) and the businessmen (Vaisia) of the society. Below them in hierarchy were the Sudras who consisted of two communities. One community was of the locals who were subdued by the Aryans and the other were the descendants of Aryans with locals. In Hindu religious stories there are many wars between the good Aryans and the dark skinned demons and devils. The different Gods also have dark skinned slaves. There are stories of demon women trying to seduce good Aryan men in deceptive ways. There were also marriages between Aryan heroes and demon women. Many believe that these incidences really occurred in which, the gods and the positive heroes were people of Aryan origin. And the demons, the devils and the dark skinned slaves were in fact the original residence of India whom the Aryans coined as monsters, devil, demons and slaves. Normally the date given to Aryan invasion is around 1500 BC. But according to Hinduism experts some of the events in Hinduism occurred much earlier. Some of the events like the great war in the Mahabharta epic is believed to have occurred (based on astronomical research) 7000 years ago. \n\nAccording to this Hindu experts the word Aryan is a misinterpretation of the original Sanskrit word, Arya. Arya means pure or good in Sanskrit. In the holy Vedas the good people were called Arya. Some of the European scholars of Indian culture in the 19th century were Germans. These German scholars who found that Swastika was also a holy symbol among the Hindus distorted, the word Arya to Aryan.

Christ started the entire charistian religous adventure. Would it be fair to say the Christianity is a religion and a race. A race that is poulated by blood descendants of jesus? Unlikely.\n\nOr, the first jew was Abraham who took the commandment from God outside of the cty of Ur, check out the old testament for this. Before that Abraqham was not a Jew, just like Christ was Jewish befor he converted to Christianity by his death by some charistians account. Therefore the only true members of the Jewish race would be blood descendants of Abraham. Again not a likely defintion or race event.\n\nBut to be precise here is the definition of race(noun)\na group of persons related by common descent or heredity.  \n2. a population so related.  \n3. Anthropology. a. any of the traditional divisions of humankind, the commonest being the Caucasian, Mongoloid, and Negro, characterized by supposedly distinctive and universal physical characteristics: no longer in technical use.  \nb. an arbitrary classification of modern humans, sometimes, esp. formerly, based on any or a combination of various physical characteristics, as skin color, facial form, or eye shape, and now frequently based on such genetic markers as blood groups.  \nc. a human population partially isolated reproductively from other populations, whose members share a greater degree of physical and genetic similarity with one another than with other humans.  \n \n4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.  \n5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race.  \n6. the human race or family; humankind: Nuclear weapons pose a threat to the race.  \n7. Zoology. a variety; subspecies.  \n8. a natural kind of living creature: the race of fishes.  \n9. any group, class, or kind, esp. of persons: Journalists are an interesting race.  \n\nThe only definitions for race that come close are"\n 4. a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic stock: the Slavic race.  \n5. any people united by common history, language, cultural traits, etc.: the Dutch race\n\nJews may or may not have developed from a common tribe or ethnic stock. If you believe they did, the 12 tribes of Israel...then Yes Jews are a race.\n\nIf you believe that jews are united by a common history...you are making a wek argumenbt as Jews can be found in many countries and cultures are are unrelated by a common history, language or culture.\n\nNo...jews only have a religion in common. They are a very diverse froup of individuals spread arounfd the world living within cultures and speaking diverse languages so they are not tryuly a race as such.

In 1935 the Iranian government requested those countries which it had diplomatic relations with, to call Persia "Iran," which is the name of the country in Persian. The suggestion for the change is said to have come from the Persian ambassador to Germany, who came under the influence of the Nazis. At the time Germany was in the grip of racial fever and cultivated good relations with nations of "Aryan" blood since the ancestors of Germans are ARYAN (IRAN).\nAnd also Pars is the term for the race of Persian people so when you are refering to Persian peoples race u should say Parsi(persian).

In Germany the Jewish population had the money and power being better business people.  The Germans were jealous and Hitler used this to gain power in a disgrunted country.
