Any Languish Aryans?

[garbon]

I think it would be a mistake to refer to contemporary Indians as Aryans but maybe that's just me.

I once had a client who did. Dunno if I've told this anecdote before, probably have, but anyway.

When I was first starting out, I worked for a partner who did municipal law. One day a client called him, in some distress. Turned out the client wished to build an ethnic community centre in a burb north of Toronto, but was getting terrible grief from the planning authorities - they were treating the client like shit on their shoe. Was this racism? What could be done?

We met with the clients in our boardroom the same day - very dark-skinned people from south India. They were totally perplexed by the level of hostility they were getting. However, it only took a single glance at their application documents to reveal the mystery to us - they had written the cover letter on their letterhead, which included very prominently the name of their org as the "... Aryans". To top it off, the letterhead was ewmbossed with a pattern of swastikas.

These guys were so recently off the boat they had literally no idea why this would be an issue. Significantly, the regulators had never actually seen them - just the paperwork. A couple of phone calls and a brief memo describing the difference between Hindus and Nazis, and the official obstructions melted away.

Were you giving props to the straw man you were going to create?

Yes people general use things like Indo and Indian to refer to modern population. Indo-Aryan as you noted seems to be either linguistic or a term than one might use when making reference to historical Aryan group.  I don't think most people would use Aryan as a designation for Indians.

Dan Snyder would call 'em Redskins.
