Albert Einstein's Travel Diaries Reveal Racist Views

It turns out Albert Einstein’s recently translated travel journal reveals the famous mathematician was kind of racist earlier in his life. ????The writings were published by the Princeton University Press show that Einstein was apparently very biased towards certain cultures. ????The e=mc2 creator wrote that the “Chinese don’t sit on benches while eating but squat like Europeans do when they relieve themselves out in the leafy woods.

All this occurs quietly and demurely.

Even the children are spiritless and look obtuse.”????He went on to write, “It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races.

For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.” ????He would also stereotype what is Sri Lanka today, saying they “live in great filth and considerable stench at ground level,” adding they “do little, and need little.

The simple economic cycle of life.” ????This is all in opposition to a statement he made later in 1946 calling racism a “disease of white people,” according to the Harvard Gazette. ????The books editor notes that the diary was not intended to be read by the public and could certainly be a shock to readers. ??
