What does "Aryan" mean?

Something we must preserve.

It's the Germanic master race.

>"Aryan" (/ˈɛəriən, ˈɛərjən, ˈær-/) is a term meaning "noble" which was used as a self-designation by Indo-Iranian people. The word was used by the Indic people of the Vedic period in India as an ethnic label for themselves, as well as to refer to the noble class and geographic location known as Āryāvarta where Indo-Aryan culture was based.

Why are you asking in Sup Forums instead of just using google

On Sup Forums it pretty much refers to blonde blue eyed north Euros.
In reality it refers to the Iranian branch of the proto-IE expansion, or sometimes to proto-IE in general even though it has assumed a negative connotation after Nazis used it in their racial theories.

Particular type of downhill skiing that countries like England and France were trying to ban from the Olympics in the 1930s due to safety concerns. Germany declared war to protect it, in part because Hitler grew up in Austria and the local economy relied on the Aryan race to generate tourism income.

It once meant some people somewhere.
But due to misuse by lots of people now, it means nothing.

this

The theory has been debunked ages go.

Some people attribute the word Aryan to mean Blonde hair, blue eyes, and speaking German - this is false. This has never actually been the definition of Aryan, even by Nazi standards.

The word Aryan comes from the Proto-Indo-European word Aryo: meaning "noble", both Ireland and Iran get their names from this world. When someone says Aryan race, they are most likely referring to the European peoples.

Except those Indians weren't white.

So it's retarded to use that word for Germanic people.

A guy who could just as well change his name to "Ryan" and it would suit him fine.

Neolithic peoples, crop farmers, sun worshippers, valley dwellers.
Their existence or whatever traces are left date back roughly 10,000 years.
Often mistranslated as "white" or "european", sometimes proto-indo-european which is a linguistic root, not a racial one.
Their preference are rivers, not continents.

if you have to ask
you're probably a jew

oh, hey Brazil, still fucking the Olympics up for everyone?
