Unless your grandfather was from Bronze Age Central Asia, you're not an Aryan. I'm guessing what you really mean is your grandfather was a Nazi. So I'm guessing your race is Caucasian, and your ethnicity is German, or partly German.

Well, basically YES
You see race is a pretty complex thing, but what you have to understand is to not feel ashamed of who you really are. You are who you are, and thinking about what your race is or about your ties to your family won't do you no good.
You say your grandfather was Aryan right?, then you should be glad and proud of having an Aryan blood.
From the way you asked your question it seems that you are having doubts about your self, and that's not a good sign.
My advice to you is to be proud of your blood and race and accept yourself as you really are.
Hope I helped
Alex

The Aryan race was a made up race created by hitler to separate the germans from everyone else. Their are 5 race classifications: white, red, yellow, black, and brown. Aryan was more like a following.

Race is often political. Aryan was certainly something that was political.
Your ethnicities can be a mixture of many different things. However, your nationality is only one thing, the country of which you are a citizen.

"Race" is an outdated concept of human segregation. The best way to look at it is ethnicity.
"Aryan" isn't even a valid ethnicity, unless you're talking about the peoples of Central Asia.

If it's all in the blood, then yes. It's part of how you are.
My father is from China and my mother is from Mexico. But my Grandfather is from France and my great grandfather is from Germany.
So, I tell people I'm Chinese-Mexican-American with a dash of French and a pinch of German. :)

My paternal grandparents were born, raised and married in Hungary and came to New York City in 1874 and were naturalized in 1880. My parents were both born in NYC and are Natural American citizens as was I. My ANCESTRY is of Hungarian Decent. My Maternal grandparents were born and raised in Ireland making me of Hungarian-Irish DECENT.
Ancestry and Decent are the two key words.

Put it this way: you are a sum of your DNA;
You are a sum of your life experiences;
You are a sum of the heritage of your forebears.
I guess by "race" people mean "heritage".
