Get Ready! Einstein Statues To Be Toppled?
We haven’t heard much in the news recently of statues of heroes being hauled down in response to tantrums by whining millennial morons.
Last year there were numerous examples of anti-history vandalism, or threats thereof…
New Statue Target For The Scum – CHURCHILL?
=======
…in various countries, from the United Kingdom…Ontario Teachers Talk Tripe On Sir John A MacDonald …to Canada, and of course all over the USA, perhaps the land most seriously afflicted by the mental illness called, illogically, the ‘progressive’ ideology .
=
Communists Are The Traitors, NOT Confederates!
=====
The villainous persons whose contribution to their countries’ achievements had to be repudiated included Canada’s first PM, though curiously, while Britain’s Winston Churchill was named as a candidate for demolition, nothing was heard about the London monument to the source of the world’s vilest ideology.

Hitler-Haus Faces Blitz – How About Satan’s Lair in London?

Far from it. As if to highlight left-liberal double standards, some disgraceful Germans erected a brand-new idol before which fans of tyranny may worship.
Next Week, To Germany’s Shame, Hitler Statue Unveiled
But now we have a new shock-horror revelation – in The Guardian, so it must be heeded! – and it’s all about Albert Einstein, who has been found posthumously guilty of ‘xenophobia!’
Einstein’s travel diaries reveal ‘shocking’ xenophobia
Ho-hum.
Travel is said to broaden the mind, but anyone who has heard Brits come home from the Costa del Sol complaining that ‘the Germans’ rise early and hog all the best spots…

Is she German? Who cares?!?!
=
…around the hotel pool knows that ain’t necessarily so!
Much the same goes for sport.
The large number of young men who support their national teams by journeying to foreign lands and bashing other young men who support other national teams…

…..are not exactly persuasive evidence of the mind-broadening effects of foreign travel.
Einstein certainly did evince some disturbing attitudes, such as when he pleaded for mercy for the notorious Rosenbergs, convicted communists traitors – Case closed: The Rosenbergs were Soviet spies – Los Angeles Times – a plea that mercifully fell on deaf ears, since the two red swine were duly executed.
But on one of his trips to pre-Communist China, he came out with the following words, which if you or I were to echo them in, say, modern Britain, about certain ‘ethnic minorities’ there, would quickly land us in the clammy hands of Theresa May’s thought-police.
“It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary.”
As for the Japanese?
The “intellectual needs of this nation seem to be weaker than their artistic ones – natural disposition?”

Having made friends here in Jakarta with people of both Japanese and Chinese ethnicity, I’d say Einstein was wrong.
But are there calls now for Einstein’s monuments to be toppled?
One hopes not, for inaccurate perceptions of other races’ qualities has nothing to do with why he was, and still is, honoured with statues.
Einstein’s distinction rests on his intellectual prowess.
Just as Captain Cook’s role in the history of The Lucky Country is honoured not for what he thought about Aborigines but for his great voyage of exploration which resulted in the discovery of what was previously regarded as Terra Incognita.

I have never seen any Einstein statues here in Australia but there probably are some. It would be pathetic to knock them down for what he said about Asians. It is just not relevant.
The same goes for Captain Cook. Without him there would be no Sydney or Melbourne or Brisbane. There would be no Australia. He deserves his statues.
All this historical vandalism as you call it is completely pointless.
Like re-naming Ayer’s Rock. If a minority wants to call it something else, they can but in school we learned it was Ayer’s Rock and so it is

You don’t have to be an Einstein to figure out that those retarded liberal millennials are America’s big problem!

The morons are still making waves about statues and you do well to remind us of their idiocy, ‘useful idiots,‘ as Lenin categorized them.
All the ‘greats’ have made mistakes and Einstein’s major one was his habit of giving communists the benefit of the doubt.
As you say, his scientific brilliance got him his statues and neither his ‘xenophobia’ nor his political short-sightedness should be made an excuse for taking the statues down.

Once again the Cook story is wrong Facts : He was never a captain, he didn’t discover Australia ( he was using Dutch maps) and was not the first English to arrive in Australia.
