Ehrenarier

== German == === Etymology === From 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). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈeːʁənˌaːʁiɐ/ === Noun === Ehrenarier m (strong, genitive Ehrenariers, plural Ehrenarier, feminine Ehrenarierin) (historical or humorous) honorary Aryan (a non-White or Jewish person respected or favoured by the Nazis) ==== Declension ====
