I will note that every historical figure had flaws, not only racist, and most were offensive to some group of people.
My own views are so anti-hero worship that i'd be complacent about pulling them all down but I know i'm an outlier on that.

Yep, I agree on your point about historical figures mostly being flawed.
As it happens, I'm also not a fan of hero worship. I think it's fine to recognize people for their achievements, but it's silly to assume that such people are without blemishes. And in the case of living people, it can be extremely dangerous.
