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

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.

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!

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.

What is a good investment portfolio for someone starting in their 20s? 90% VT and 10% BND for a Roth IRA then 100% TDF for a 401k?

And then we get sexy time with them!

And then we get sexy time with them?

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.

Fishing is a popular pastime on many US beaches. What is a type of saltwater fish commonly caught from piers or by wading (flounder, redfish, etc.)?

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!

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

They used their “spidey sense”.

Can you explain the meaning of "mint condition" in relation to antiques or collectibles?
