The unfortunate part about modern politics is that people forget that words did and do have real meanings before Current Year connotations where its all just "the whites and the not whites."
The Nazis latched onto Aryans long before we had much information on them, and the more we found, the more wrong they were. Suddenly, Aryan as a concept had to change to just mean 'white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes'; despite the fact that the NSDAP didn't even agree. Because they believed in Aryanism, a complete wakanda-yakub level psuedo-science; they accepted that Aryans were a long dead hyperborean race, and that blond-haired blue-eyed Caucasians were simply the closest decedents to Aryans.
That shit is so retarded that no one takes it seriously anymore, even Neo-Nazis, but they like to still wield parts of the narrative.
In reality, the Aryans are a cool ethnic group, that we know only a little about because they didn't really build any city-states that we can find. It is interesting that the Celts and Aryans went in completely different directions though...
