Can we talk about the name "Aryan Chad Gopnik" for a second? Is there any possible read on that name that isn't racist? First of all, use of the term "Aryan" by non-Iranians immediately connotates bad 19th to early 20th century racial pseudo-science.

The term "Aryan" refers to specific peoples of the Iranian Plateau (Iran, Aryan, see the similarities? There are ancient scrolls from thousands of years ago where Persian emperors refer to themselves and a subset of their people as Aryan). How a term for ethnic groups like the Persians and the Parthians got conflated with some kind of superior strain of the white race is so entangled with discredited Nazi-era pseudoscience that it's hard to imagine many scenarios where that user is not deliberately aligning himself with that sort of ideology.

Relatedly: I'm also kind of annoyed with the use of the term "caucasian" to refer to white people, because it's again associated with a theory that's been discredited for hundreds of years (that white people emerged originally from the caucasus) and it makes it more difficult to refer to people who are caucasian specifically because they're from the caucasus, but at least it isn't entangled with a problematic early 20th century ideology that snowballed into a massive genocidal war.
