    Thanks for the list! I’d be a dirty liar if I said none of the points applied to Canada, as I’ve experienced 3 of those personally. But not the entire list. Seems to me that the US is not a very good place to be non-Aryan. So why not move somewhere cooler?

      non-Aryan

      I’d say it’s not a good place to be Aryan at all.

      And maybe you shouldn’t misuse the same words the Nazis intentionally misused in the future.

        It was super clear what the other commenter meant, and you’re just looking for conflict and thought policing everywhere I met you. Don’t.

        I’d say the term has since been appropriated, the same way that all facial tissues are mostly referred to as kleenex. If the proper Aryans wanted exclusive right to the name, they should have made more use of it

          Yeah, stupid ethnic group just allowing a genocidal European nation on another continent co-opt their identity like that!

          Just like those other people from India just allowing Europeans to call the people indigenous to the Americas by that name too.

          Clearly if they were superior, like white people true Aryans, they would have protected the name by international trademark.

            Finally, someone gets it. If trademarking intellectual property was wrong, Disney wouldn’t have pioneered the field!
