Chinese comment on Einstein's racist reactions

“Kinnes do not sit on tables while eating, but on tails like Europeans do when performing physical needs in forest” So wrote Einstein in his journals.

The “would be unfortunate if the Chinese were to replace other races,” he adds. - “When I see photos of that period look dirty. ”

Einstein wrote down the true situation of that era. Diaries were amazed at the racist and mysogenous content of the many obsessions of Nobel Prize winner as well as an icon of humanity. Some users called for Einstein's “-communication”, while others said comments show how all human beings, including Einstein, have a loglades and surfaces. Most stood up for scientist, author of one of the definitions of racism as a disease of white people and were of the idea that China of that time was very different from what is today.

He was there during the first years of the Republic, set after 1912, after an imperial regime. Hunger, war, and poverty were rampant in the Chinese country. How could the Chinese have won Einstein's respect at this time?- writes a user of The Guardian.

This is an insult to China? This is ridiculous.

Others compared Einstein to Luba Xu, the author considered the father of modern Chinese literature and known for his satire to Chinese society in the early 20th century.

We've commended Lou Xu for discovering our disadvantages. Why should we blame Einstein for this, write a user.

This is pure racism. Diaries show Einstein's good in physics, but he doesn't understand people absolutely.

Even Chinese state television in English “Global Times” spoke on the subject. In an editorial published Friday, he announced the Chinese response:

“We have the curiosity about what Einstein would say today if he saw the openness of most Chinese behavior towards his diaries. ”

This editorial provoked more than 2,000 comments. One of the answers received the most favor said: “Dignity is earned itself, not given by others. ” / world.al
