Place it in historical context. Gandhi lived and worked in South Africa during his early adult life. The country was segregated and he first championed the civil rights of his own people, the Indians. You can't apply today's racial standards to people who lived over a century ago.But Gamey, what about the history of US slavery which is still a big issue with many? I believe the U.S. Government owes reparations to the descendants of African-American slaves for allowing U.S. citizens to be enslaved in defiance of the U.S. Bill of Rights. That's a legal issue. However, I don't personally blame anyone who grew up in 18th century for believing slavery was acceptable. It was an established economic practice at the time.
