I took offense at similar comments some time ago and some similarly ignorant forum member went on a rampage to stop the "Politically Correct brainwashing machine" from polluting her perfect little WASP world.

them. It is kraut, not "kraught." It's like the idiot Aryans that paint the swastikas backwards everytime they use them. I would call you an "Ami," but you wouldn't understand anyway.

Given the inevitable bent of the conversation, I thought a well-meant epistemological briefing was in order:
The ethnologic origin of the term "Aryan" is any of those people who are descendant of the pre-historic people who spoke Indo-European (pre-cursor to Sanskrit). So, some of these people settled in Europe (the use of the term in most modern contexts) and others settled the N. Indian Subcontinent, displacing the native Dravidians. Amongst Hindus (only one of the groups that uses the symbol) the swastika represents a sign of welcome and of an auspicious place...

My apologies to the original Aryans.
I know the swastika (backwards, as to display the path of the sun across the earth, rather than the **** version which goes west to east with its points) is used by other cultures too, because I was at a martial arts expo in Holland, and one of the competitors caused a stir by having one on his collar. It was soon explained to all the competitors that he was wearing the symbol out of respect to his Japanese style of Karate. It's shameful that one modern sect devalued such a historic symbol in hateful terms.
