    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!
