I get where you're coming from, but this comment lacks so much nuance it actively repeats the wrongs it means to correct.

Churchill was a significant leadership icon (WWII). He was also a poor leader (WWI). He held racist views. He was also very witty. People are complex, and one perspective is not enough to do a person justice.

Case in point: many people around the world think of Mahatma Ghandi as a very positive cultural and political icon. Except students in the biggest university in my country, who protested [0] to pull down his statue over his racist views.
