>Written between October 1922 and March 1923, the diaries see the scientist
musing on his travels, science, philosophy and art. In China, the man who
famously once described racism as “a disease of white people” describes
the “industrious, filthy, obtuse people” he observes. He notes how 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.” After earlier
writing of the “abundance of offspring” and the “fecundity” of the
Chinese, he goes on to say: “It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant
all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”
>Ze’ev Rosenkranz, senior editor and assistant director of the Einstein
Papers Project at the California Institute of Technology, said: “I think a
lot of comments strike us as pretty unpleasant – what he says about the
Chinese in particular.
