How did the Nazis figure out whether a person or community is 'Aryan' or not?

Ja, well, Helmut, it’s very simple. Those hot leggy blondes are actually not Slavs at all but are, in fact, Aryans who got Slavicised. We need to rescue them from the pit of subhumanism that surrounds them by immediately giving them Aryan status!

Poles are “ugly, subhuman Slavs” but hey, Hermann, have you noticed how hot and blond those leggy Polish chicks look? They don’t fit our “subhuman” model at all! İn fact, they kind of look like our Aryan ideal personified!

And then we get sexy time with them!

What do you think of the 2 female 18 and 19 year-old German tourists, detained in Honolulu, strip-searched, put in green jumpsuits, placed in a holding cell and the next day deported, for the terrible crime of not pre-booking a hotel for their trip?

They used their “spidey sense”.

And then we get sexy time with them?

Nazi racism was not actually scientific, it was just a load of bullshit with a thin patina of “science-y” garwharbl to justify what was basically a totally ideological belief.

Orchestral Music: How well synchronised in time do musicians have to be to sound as if they are playing together?

If the Nazis wanted someone to be “Aryan”, they made up some cock and Bull story to justify it. If they wanted the opposite, they could be equally inventive in assigning someone to “Untermensch” status.

Ultimately, what made a group of people “Aryan” or not came down to how much they wanted them to be “Aryan”.

It was all bullshit the Nazis made up as they went along. Trying to cast it in real scientific terms is a waste of time.

Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?
