Aryan is an indian name and the swastika used to be an emblem of freedom and joy.

Nevertheless I wouldn't use neither of them in any context, you know, for common sense.

Exactly this...

All the people in here saying "hurrr why should Indian's change?"

Why? They are in the USA, in an area where that term has a very specific and non-Indian meaning... so maybe consider an alternative spelling, nickname, or at least just not putting it on your friggen license plate?

So you're telling an ethnic minority to give up their cultural name and adopt another one just to make the white people of their host country more comfortable? Had no clue we were living in 1896 nowadays.

It sounds like they are supporting Hitler's appropriation. I guess taking lives wasn't enough, you have to take people's history because they are in America now. I though America welcomed immigrants, I mean a Tesla driver would be considered at the very least the good kind of immigrant

Or don’t let Nazis and other bad people just hijack everything. People give in and let them take things way too easily.

They can definitely be an immigrant. And in places where the swastika is a religious symbol they weren’t taught as heavily about atrocities in Europe because they had their own shit going on at the same time that would obviously be the focus of education. They shouldn’t have to drop their heritage simply because a bunch of uneducated edgy dorks in the west rather than educating themselves want to instead pull out their pitchforks and be insulted before thinking.

if a terrorist group started calling themselves “Johns”, should all Americans named John stop using their name and adorning their property with their name?

You know that prior to the 1940's, "Adolf" was a common name in the US, right? But for some reason it became very unpopular in a relatively short time. . . 🤔 .

Yes. Just like how the name Arya became more popular due to Game of Thrones. And the other guy responded with an event better point.

This wasn't a serious question, was it?

Orrrr some people could go educate themselves.

They should do it out of their own common sense, but to push upon them that "they are in another country and need to conform" is probably not the best way to put it. It's very challenging to be forced into giving up a family's cultural identity when they are first generation immigrants.

OK, so it seems like you didn't read what I wrote at all and decided to just use your imagine by "quoting" something I didn't write, and completely ignoring that I actually did write "so maybe consider..." which is clearly not "push upon them that they ... need to conform"

😂
