Let me clarify: I have nothing against West Asia, its people, or specifically Persians and Iranians. I'm well aware of the rich heritage of Iranians and other West Asian cultures. However, we must remain watchful against the tendency to allow personal biases to distort our understanding. The study of Indo-European origins is a minefield and should be approached with caution. So we shouldn't treat Indo-Europeans as either heroes or villains; instead, we must avoid sanitising their history by denying their (East) European roots out of a desire to counteract or neutralise Nazi ideologies.
