The quote seems quite on the nose to me. Einstein wasn't raised by paupers.

No, he just was forced to be a refugee from his own country. Do we really have to compare suffering?

The context of this discussion is an argument that we need to find the Albert Einstein of the world to help them go to Stanford. My argument is that Einstein never went to the proverbial Stanford. In fact he avoided those things.

Einstein was a patent clerk rather than a professor. He explicitly chose not to “go to Stanford”.
