Why did the Nazis believe the Aryan race was superior?

Question

If anything they were more susceptible to skin cancer because they lacked melanin that darker races have plenty of. Hair is only blond, eyes are only blue because of melanin deficiency.

Answer 1

Because it was their belief that the Aryan's were the closest descendants of the God's. They were the true chosen people. And they only lacked the melanin because they came from colder regions.

Answer 2

Christianity was being used as a manipulative tool at that time to control the masses, just as the KKK use Christianity to hate people of other races. The aryans invaded India, and then created the Caste system which put darker people at the bottom of the socio-economic chain. From what I know, those people are a mixture of the Nordic and Aryan, and the Aryans were originally a lot darker, as they were the first persians. But really, they tried to put that belief out because they knew that in the future, there will be a lot less of the Aryan/Nordic race due to all the mixing of races, so they felt as though they had to preserve by killing the other races. Another flaw in society that separates us all.

Answer 3

Hitler was a member of the Thule Society. Thule Society members included judges, lawyers, university professors, aristocratic families, leading industrialists, physicians, and scientists, etc. It was not the working-man's group. In fact its members were racist bigots who feared the working man. The society accepted the teachings of the theosophist Helen Blavatsky on the superiority of the Aryans, a theoretical race of people who some argue were identical to the Nordic people, and whose name derived from the word Arya, meaning "noble, free, spiritual or skillful person." The hypothesis of a superior race is developed through the study of linguistics and offers no proof that such a race ever even existed, it is merely a very dangerous theory.

Answer 4

hi JoJo, it really is an rather good question even though it is no longer purely the Aryan race......it is all races. some blacks imagine that they are more suitable dancers and athletes. some asians have self belief that they are smarter at particular matters. some hispanics have self belief that they are more suitable cooks. It purely comes with living in a rustic that has been by ability of such rather some racial battles and under no circumstances to point the very shown actuality that stereotypes play a substantial function. in case you do not see colour then you are particularly on of the tens of millions that has the ability to settle for human beings for who they truly are and under no circumstances what they appear to be. best for you!!!!!!

Answer 5

The "Aryan race" is a concept in European culture that was influential in the period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It derives from the idea that the original speakers of the Indo-European languages and their descendents up to the present day constitute a distinctive race. In its best-known incarnation, under Nazism, it was argued that the earliest Aryans were identical to Nordic people. Belief in the superiority of the "Aryan race" is sometimes referred to as Aryanism

In its original use, in the Indo-Iranian languages of the 3rd or 4th millennium BC, "Aryan" may or may not have had any racial meaning, certainly not in the sense that the concept of race is distorted today. In this sense an "Aryan" identity is mentioned in Old Persian inscriptions and other Persian sources from c. 500 BC onwards. The word originally (and legitimately) applied to the Indo-Iranian culture, became tied in nineteenth century linguistics to Indo-European culture as a whole as ethnologists and linguists speculated that Europeans descended from an ancient people called the Aryans. The idea of the "Aryan race" also arose when linguists identified the Avestan and Vedic Sanskrit (ancient languages of Persia and Northern India, respectively) as the oldest known relatives of all the major European languages. These hypothetical ancestors were given the name Aryans, from the Sanskrit and Avestan word Arya, which means "noble, free, spiritual or skillful person".

In Europe new concepts were forged around it. These new ideas in Europe reached their height of popularity during the 19th century and first half of the 20th century. Inspired by the discovery of the Indo-European language family. 19th century ethnologists speculated that European peoples descended from an ancient people called the Aryans. The term Aryan thus came to exclude not only traditionally defined "non-white" groups such as Africans, and East Asians, but also Semitic peoples (Jews and Arabs). This was because the Semitic languages are unrelated to Indo-European, a fact that was used to argue that the ancestral population of Semites was completely separate from that of Aryans. Among Antisemites this led to the claim that Jews were an alien presence in Aryan societies and the Semitic peoples were often pointed to as the cause of conversion and destruction of social order and values leading to culture and civilization's downfall.

All bullshit, of course. Just like your skin cancer argument.

Answer 6

Misguided and following false scientific findings. Have you ever looked upo the word Aryan in a dictionary? Loads of Laughs!

Answer 7

Because they are ******* stupid. White people are not even Aryan, they are NORDIC. The white brotherhood won't admit this, but they are actually NORDIC in origin. The true Aryans were in Asia, and were a highly spiritual and enlightened people. The nazi's stole one of the Aryan symbols of prosperity, reversed it and called it the swastika. The white brotherhood is in fact PSEUDO-Aryan. White people are ******* stupid.

Answer 8

The real answer to this is, Have thing really changed?

Today we have designer babies, and people are paying to have children with specific features and assets.
In a few years time, people are going to be able to genetically modify their children. Is this so different from what Hitler had in mind?

Answer 9

The taller and whiter one is the further along the EVOLUTIONARY PATH one is!

The straighter the hair the blonder one was - the further along the EVOLUTIONARY PATH one was.

It was a terrible thing to be a black person with tight curly hair in Nazi Germany............they were considered right next to moneys and apes. Near the bottom and beginning of the EVOLUTIONARY PATH.

Nazis loved Darwinism and used it to the fullest.

Answer 10

And, I wonder if they ever thought about the fact that the Persians (Iran) are the true Aryan race?
