意味（1）

Pertaining, in racial theories, to the (alleged) Aryan master race.

Look at the ravages from which our people are suffering daily as a result of being contaminated with Jewish blood.

意味（2）

(neo-Nazi or white supremacist ideology, informal) Pertaining to the Caucasian ethnicity.

意味（3）

(US, informal, euphemistic) Pertaining to Caucasian racists or their organisations, theories, etc.

意味（5）
