Albert Einstein's diaries contain shocking details of his racism

Was Einstein racist? Travel diaries reveal shocking truth about physicist’s views on Asians

In manuscripts Einstein shared his travel impressions about art, politics, science, philosophy and ultimately, racial equality. In striking contradiction with his later statements, the Nobel Prize laureate wrote down thoughts on racial stereotypes, insisting that some races not only could not equate to others, but were inferior to them.

He described the Chinese as “industrious, filthy, obtuse” and “a peculiar herd-like nation,” that, according to Einstein, posed threat to other nations. “It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races,” he wrote. “For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”

I don't really have an issue with people making comments like these. I hear them all the time about the Japanese over here and you hear all the the time comments about the bad English teeth, tattoo's and beer bellies. It doesn't bother me because I have nice teeth, am thin and would never get a tattoo. Get over it, move on.

People should be allowed to call any human being from any race any name or any kind of animal or any sound whether it is a grunting sound a whistling sound a growling sound a singing sound a talkin or a shouting sound every animal from an aardvark all the way down to a zebra from A to Z

I mean it was a personal diary. Different times and actually a sense of public v private consumption. That's long gone now. Name a social media platform and people put their vile knuckle dragging crap right out their with no shame.

Right on queue . We'd be floored if we saw the inner thoughts of different generations.

We're these auctioned off?

[brocktonblockbust]

Yeah really I agree on that too. It's like comparing different boxes of different Generations it's like trying to say could Jack Dempsey really lay down and ass whooping on somebody like Evander Holyfield. It's different times different philosophies different perspectives. They want to dredge up a statue that was built in 1871 and make an issue out of it in 2018. Talk about an anachronism talk about something which is so out of kilter and out of whack it's like going back and demolishing the pyramids in Egypt because slaves helped to build them
