In the spirit of today's "Woke" SJW's judgmentalism and view of historical figures by today's standard's, we must tear down, remove all mention of Einsteim in the public sphere. He is, after all the father of the Atomic bomb.

Well, there goes studying the Theory of Relativity.

It is not shocking at all that a 1920’s European would say some negative things about the Chinese in private letters.

They’ll probably say he’s anti-Semite.
However, that’s it. Everyone STOP obeying E = mc2.
Anyone who continues to adhere to said principle will be deemed a xenophobe.

I watched the video and these were rather tame, not offensive and in the context of the time, nearly a hundred years ago, not surprising. SJW drama queens are just looking for the next person, even dead, to trash.

"...Albert Einstein..."
Social Justice Warriors will simply indicate that Albert Einstein is a dumb person.

I think its quite a shock to read those and contrast them with his more public statements. Theyre more off guard, he didnt intend them for publication....of course, if we're to forgive Einstein for these comments because they were private and not intended for publication, we're going to have to rethink our outrage at Trump for his "bus comments"....
To: RedMonqey
Well, he did call them industrious.

Well that tears it - I’m never voting for him or watching any of his movies ever again!

The Nazis called Einstein’s work “Jewish science”, and banned the study of it. Today’s Nazis (the radical left) will probably ban Einstein’s work as well. Perhaps they’ll call it “white science”.

Replace “dreary people” with culture where “nail that sticks out is hammered down” and it might be more acceptable.
To: RedMonqey
Sure, I keep telling people Einstein wasn't a cute cartoon or a cuddly teddy bear.
Einstein could be a jerk. That didn't mean he was the worst person in the world, but he wasn't your buddy either.
Just because he could understand relativity that didn't mean that he'd want to listen to your problems or mine.

An objective person might want to given consideration to Einstein's thoughts. He isn't the first genius to draw these conclusions. Einstein's great intellect is beyond my league; In most things Einsteinian, I defer to him.

Not really.
Mass energy equivalence is something that can be roughly explained to very young children, and the Special Theory of Relativity can be quantitatively conveyed to any relatively bright person who understands right triangle geometry.
The theoretical knowledge of E=mc2 gets you no closer to a working atomic bomb than you were before you knew about binding energy; building an atomic bomb involves enormous challenges in metallurgy, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, and applied physics about which Einstein knew nothing.
Historically, the title is usually given to Robert Oppenheimer, and "Father of the Hydrogen Bomb" to Edward Teller. The former is probably also undeserved, and really belongs to the great Enrico Fermi. The latter title absolutely was warranted, but should be shared with Stanislaw Ulam.

I don’t think Physics is racis’, but who knows what theories lurk out there these daze.

The Theory of Relativity was all relative anyhow depending how you feel that day.
To: RedMonqey
More shocking to conservatives should be Einstein's absolutely loony politics. He was convinced Stalin was a great guy, and even after the Khrushchev Report detailed his many horrific crimes—courtesy of the Soviet leadership itself no less—Einstein still would not denounce him.

Einstein a humanitarian?
He keeps using that word. I do not think it means what he thinks it means.
