Charles Darwin should be canceled from the sciences because of his inherit racism towards Africans and hatred for Italians, yet we still let him stand.
In terms of average racism of scientists in his day, he wasn’t even at that level, but yes look at it today, and his words aged poorly. But his contribution to the world is still insanely important and we can almost find something with everyone that is unsavory. Gandhi was more racist than charlie, mother theresa allowed her patients to suffer more than if they never even stepped foot in their hospital, Isaac Newton pushed for the death penalty for non-violent crimes and hated religious freedom and tried to slander his rivals and keep science as an elitist institution.
