The people super-focused on "Aryan heritage" didn't have an ethnic bent?

> Jews, or the Jewish people, are an ethnoreligious group and nation, originating in the Israelites of ancient Israel and Judah.
If the US forcibly kicked Jews out of NYC, it'd be ethnic cleansing. No one would contest that description.
Let me ask you a question - Can we ascribe blame to all Jews if the state of Israel were to do something bad?
No, just as it wouldn't be ethnic cleansing to evict one Jewish person. We convicted a relatively tiny handful of Nazis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Georg_Kiesinger eventually served as chancellor of West Germany!

Certainly not. But kicking them all out of NYC would still be ethnic cleansing!
Someone can be against zionism, but not against all jews, agreed?
Thus, the two categories must be distinct, regardless how much or little overlap they have.
Also for specificity, the nazis co-opted "aryan" much like they co-opted the swastika. Neither actually represent what they claim, even if both are now tainted by their use of it.
TL;DR: "Nazis lie", which I guess is a truism.
