Many of them are "spiritless and obtuse", and go to any Chinatown in the U.S. and it is typically one of the sketchier and squalid parts of town. I don't see the problem in making observations that are honest and blunt if they are in fact accurate. It may hurt a few feelings, but its one man's opinion and we are all entitled to one.
Just like white trash and ghetto blacks have a certain way they act and present themselves or any other group, of course saying it in today's environment isn't acceptable to point it out.

It's not like he said anything that wasn't true.
Chinese people are arrogant, rude, unfriendly, and treat anyone below them in status (employees etc) like ****.

Lincoln was for freeing the slaves but still didn't think blacks were equal to whites.
Teddy Roosevelt though all ethnicities deserved the same right but still thought whites were superior.
It's like things have progressed as time has gone on. Lincoln and Roosevelt were doing well for their time but not by today's standards.
He was a vocal voice for pacifism( if that means peace.) and i think he had a Jewish girlfriend.
German authorities didnt like his views hence his move to America.
If he had racist views it was ingrained in him from the generation from which he grew up.
