"Chinese are industrious, filthy, obtuse people, Chinese don’t sit on benches while eating but squat like Europeans do when they relieve themselves out in the leafy woods. All this occurs quietly and demurely. Even the children are spiritless and look obtuse. Chinese are a peculiar herd-like nation, often more like automatons than people. Even those reduced to working like horses never give the impression of conscious suffering. It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races, For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary. How little difference there is between men and women; what kind of fatal attraction Chinese women possess which enthrals the corresponding men to such an extent that they are incapable of defending themselves against the formidable blessing of offspring .

Indians live in great filth and considerable stench at ground level, they do little, and need little. Primitive yet intrusive.

Bandit-like screaming and gesticulating Levantines of every shade, who lunge at our ship. As if spewed from hell. "

Correct. However, by having a national holiday in the name of MLK, we're celebrating the man as much as his ideas. If all of ends up being true, we should no longer elevate the man.

Maybe we should never have holidays in honor of people, only ideas.

Two things:

First: MLK is remembered for the ideas he championed, but the ideas do not stand or fall on the moral character of MLK himself.

Second: it is a sad truth that great people seldom turn out to also be good people.
