Comment Germans are NOT Aryans (Score 1) 510
OK... you've got a lot of stuff wrong here.
1. Persians are Persians. Turkomen are Turkomen, not Persians. Kurds are Kurds, not Persians (though Kurds are Aryans and speak a dialect of Persian). The other peoples in Iran are NOT Persians. Lurs are Lurs. There are more; I can't think of them all right now. Persians are a small majority in Iran, making up just over 50% of the population.
2. Germans are not Aryans. Hitler simply didn't know what the term Aryan meant. It does not mean "white" or Indo-European. Aryans are a sub category of Indo-Europeans who live, primarily on the Iranian plateau and in India. The English and French (and Germans and Norwegians and Danes and ...) are NOT Aryans. They are, however, Indo-Europeans.
And all this stuff is not futile and meaningless in the modern world. Nationalism based on real or percieved ethnicity is still one of the most potent unifying forces for a sovereign state.
