   Les not forget..Einstein dropped TWO atomic bombs on Japan! He had   
   yellow fever.   
      
   'the yellow peril' :(the political or military threat regarded as   
   being posed by the Chinese or by the peoples of Southeast Asia.)   
      
   Albert Einstein referred to Chinese as 'industrious, filthy, obtuse   
   people'   
      
   “a peculiar herd-like nation… often more like automatons than people”,   
   adding: “Even the children are spiritless and look lethargic.”   
   “bandit-like filthy Levantines”
