Everything he said was pretty much bang on.

Here is an example of Einstein's "shocking" words:

In Colombo in Ceylon, Einstein writes of how the locals “live in great filth and considerable stench at ground level” adding that they “do little, and need little. The simple economic cycle of life.”

Uh. Have you ever been to Ceylon/Sri Lanka? Not much has changed, I am afraid. This is not "xenophobic", this is stating the truth.

It's 2018. Facts can be racist.

The pendulum will have to swing back the other direction because refusing to acknowledge observable facts will soon be recognized by (almost) everyone as an inevitable degeneration into total nonsense and meaninglessness.

I'm not so sure. People really LIKE nonsense and meaninglessness.

So, Mr. Einstein described racism as "a disease of white people," while himself looking down on other races of people.

It's interesting to see that this was going on back then also.

Because he isn't white...he's Jewish.

He clearly states his Zionist tendencies in some of his letters.

I wonder how many times he addressed his colleagues as "fellow white people"
