He probably was a racist, it was more acceptable back then. I don't think ignoring that aspect and saying it's 'besmirching' Churchill's legacy is a very healthy attitude to take. Most historical 'heroes' are far from perfect and it's important to remember that.

It's quite a PC attitude to try to protect historical figures from criticism for fear of causing offense. No one is above criticism.
