COVERT DISCRIMINATION

This is a reminder of a famous Einstein quote. In 1921, Albert Einstein presented a paper on his then-infant Theory of Relativity at the Sorbonne, the prestigious French university.

Professor Einstein

“If my theory is proved correct, the Germans will call me a German, the Swiss will call me a Swiss citizen, and the French will call me a great scientist. If relativity is proved wrong, the French will call me a Swiss, the Swiss will call me a German, and the Germans will call me a Jew”.

One must acknowledge that this is the soft covert bigotry that seems to always remain just below the surface, not only against the Jews, but against all minorities, and many “others” who are not exactly like us.
