Now if the IRS starts sending me a letter each late April saying "thanks"
for my tax payments, I'll start developing an aversion to the "thanks"
terminology.

"Aryan" was once a name for the hypothetical tribe which spoke the original
Indo-European root language. It predates Hitler and all the other bad guys.

Answering the question of where these linquistic Aryans actually lived is
one of the holy grails of prehistoric human population studies?
