Ehrenarier

German Etymology From de Ehre honour -n- Arier Aryan. The term pokes fun at the National Socialist ideologists, who claimed to judge everything from a strictly racial point of view, but – given the unrealistic and flimsy nature of the theory – were habitually forced to resort to such “unscientific” factors as merit, political attitude, religion, language; besides purely tactical considerations (as in the cooperation with Japanese and Arabs).

And in the newsreel videos he laughed into the camera: a real personable one, a real buddy, yeah – albeit a negro. And we didn’t even think [of the apparent contradiction]: that’s a negro, or: shouldn’t it actually... Nope! He was an honorary Aryan. Declension m,,-
