Churchil did a lot for the country, he was also a bastard and, like many people at the time, he had views that would be considered racist today. I don't see the issue with talking about the more problematic aspects of his life for it's a part of who he was.

It’s problematic if she is trying to suggest racism is purely a ‘white’ phenomena and trying to take the moral high ground. If she is too dumb to recognise that he was simply a product of his time, as are most people, that is her problem. Anyway she is just a troublemaker and most are aware of that.
