So what if they really were “industrious, filthy, obtuse people.” Is there any evidence to the contrary or are they merely assuming that they were not? If there is no evidence to the contrary, how does simply noting the truth make him racist?



And by the way, everybody is racist, so git ovah yo bad self.

This is not racism, just observation.
If you were to write down just factual observations of a central african you would be accufsed of racism. Record just factual observation, no supposition, no glossifed social commentary.
You can start with the fact that the average central african has between 20 to 40 active sexual partners. It gets worse from there on.

Don’t take offense. I like Asians just fine.

I was replying at approximately the level of dialogue offered by the usually sage Einstein.

if you read ANYONES’ writings from that time frame or before you will run into lots of material that is now considered insensitive and offensive when it comes to other races and/or classes.

By today's idiotic "standards", the truth is considered insensitive and offensive.

It seems to me that Einstein was using the vernacular of the time to accurately describe what he saw. Clearly (to the Left) that’s racist.

While it looks odd to a westerner, if you think about it, it is a lot cleaner than sitting on a park bench.

I've traveled through China and Thailand a number of times and it's quite common to see men squatting like this all over. Women as well, but not nearly as much.

I just figured they're used to it since they use squat toilets. It seems to me to be related to how modernized or rural a place is. It was not common in the modern places. I didn't see it in Japan although I never have been to Rural Japan.

If you are a white male whatever you say or said will be examined under an electron microscope.

If otherwise, free pass.

I thought that was J. Robert Oppenheimer.

And he wants a saucer of milk. :)
