* Aryan (Ary·an adj.)
Word History: It is one of the ironies of history that Aryan, a word nowadays referring to the blond-haired, blue-eyed physical ideal of Nazi Germany, originally referred to a people who looked vastly different. Its history starts with the ancient Indo-Iranians, Indo-European peoples who inhabited parts of what are now Iran, Afghanistan, and India. Their tribal self-designation was a word reconstructed as *arya- or *rya-. The first of these is the form found in Iranian, as ultimately in the name of Iran itself (from Middle Persian rn (ahr), ?(Land) of the Iranians,? from the genitive plural of r, ?Iranian?). The variant *rya- is found unchanged in Sanskrit, where it referred to the upper crust of ancient Indian society. These words became known to European scholars in the 18th century.
As far as I know SonOfRage is half Hungarian and half filipino. It's hungarian bloodline that gives him the right to call himself Aryan.
We've gone back and forth on this subject many times, but he insists on saying he's aryan. Even though I think it's far fetched.
