How did the Nazis figure out whether a person or community is 'Aryan' or not?

They used their “spidey sense”.

Nazi racism was not actually scientific, it was just a load of bullshit with a thin patina of “science-y” garwharbl to justify what was basically a totally ideological belief.

If the Nazis wanted someone to be “Aryan”, they made up some cock and Bull story to justify it. If they wanted the opposite, they could be equally inventive in assigning someone to “Untermensch” status.

It was all bullshit the Nazis made up as they went along. Trying to cast it in real scientific terms is a waste of time.

And then we get sexy time with them!

Ultimately, what made a group of people “Aryan” or not came down to how much they wanted them to be “Aryan”.

Should we consider deporting democrats to Canada?
