Communal notes written by Albert Einstein on countries including Sri Lanka
Albert Einstein's Travel Diary Books has recently been published, including many against the racialist and foreigners.
This dossier deals with his trip to Asia and the Middle East between October 1922 and March 1923.
It noted here many of the racial and nuisance views of different ethnicities. For example, scientist Albert Einstein has introduced in his diary "Chinese people are too diligent, impure, intelligent people."
However, he later advocated civil rights in the United States in his later life, claiming that racism was "a disease of white men."
This is the first time that these diaries have been published in English as a single copy.
The editor of Princeton University Press, published by the Albert Einstein's Travel Diary: Far East, Palestine and Spain 1922 - 1923, published the book The Travel Diaries of Albert Einstein: The Far East, Palestine, and Spain, 1922-1923.

Starting from Spain, Einstein went to the Middle East and toured Sri Lanka through China and Japan. The Westerners then called Sri Lanka "Ceylon".
When this world-renowned physicist went to Port Said, Egypt, he rode off to sell goods in the city, describing it as "a crowd of people everywhere ... as if pulled from the fire."
Einstein wrote in his city of Colombo: "They live in a dirty and noticeably stenographed skin, because they work in little, and the needs are too small."
However, the most controversial figure in this famous physicist is the Chinese.
"Chinese children do not have a spirit and are less intelligent," he said, "if Chinese people are born other than all other species."
In another place in the journal, Einstein wrote: "The Chinese are all seemingly like-minded, not puppet, but puppet."
And there was "no difference" between Chinese women and men and asked men how to "protect themselves" without the "extraordinary" attractiveness of women.
The unique knowledge of science and the character of human nature Einstein moved to the United States in the fall of Adolf Hitler's Nazi rule in 1933.
Meanwhile, a Jewish scientist in a conference at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania in 1946 described communalism as "a disease of white men."
Einstein's Theory of Relativity changed the way people think about space and time. These diaries, however, show that his personal opinion has changed over the years in various nations.
Even though the writings record his personal opinion, some of these Americans will be disturbed by some of the Americans involved in breaking up the divisions of nations. They still celebrate Albert Einstein as a pioneer in the elimination of divisions.
In 1933, when he migrated to the United States, he began to voice the contradiction of the separate schools and cinemas for black and white. Later, Einstein joined the National Congress, which formed the basis for the advancement of different colors.
It is believed that he saw many similarities among the harassment of the Jews in Germany and his new home, the African-American encounter in the United States.
One year after the end of the Second World War, the story of a historically important black college in Pennsylvania, Lincoln University was one of Einstein's most controversial stories.
His diaries are filled with feelings and personal opinions. Due to misunderstandings, this unique scientist and the reputation of the humanitarian can be damaged in the 21st century.
However, these words were recorded in the US and Germany before the experience of racism.
