Throughout his life, #WinstonChurchill made numerous explicit statements on race 

and his views on race contributed to his decisions and actions in British politics. From the late 20th century onwards, these attitudes resulted in a reappraisal of his life achievements and work by both British historians and the public in the context of his being Britain's nationally celebrated wartime leader.[1] #Churchill  weki  Churchill, author of A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, was of the view that British domination, in particular through the British Empire, was a result of social Darwinism.[citation needed] He had a hierarchical perspective of race, believing white people were most superior and black people the least.[citation needed] Churchill advocated against black or indigenous self-rule in Africa, Australia, the Americas and the Caribbean.[citation needed] He held mixed views of West Asian Muslims, calling Afghans and Iraqis "uncivilised tribes", but was highly supportive of Ibn Saud.[citation needed] During an interview in 1902, whilst discussing his views about the Chinese, Churchill stated that the "great barbaric nations" will menace the "civilised nations", and that "[t]he Aryan stock is bound to triumph".[2]  Though wary of communist Jews, Churchill strongly supported Zionism and described Jews as "the most formidable and the most remarkable race",

 whose "first loyalty will always be towards [Jews]".[1][3]  During World War II, he prioritised the stockpiling of food for Europeans over feeding Indian subjects during the Bengal famine of 1943.[4] Churchill held views on the British populace that were eugenic in perspective, and was a proponent of forced sterilisation to preserve "energetic and superior stocks".[5]  Historian John Charmley has argued that Churchill's racialised denigration of Mahatma Gandhi in the early 1930s contributed to fellow British Conservatives' dismissal of his early warnings about the rise of Adolf Hitler. Churchill's comments on Indians in particular were judged by his contemporaries within the Conservative Party to be extreme.[1]  During the George Floyd protests in the United Kingdom in June 2020, a statue of Churchill in Parliament Square was spray-painted with the words "was a racist", raising further public discussion of his views.[6]
