Only idiots are shaken by such articles (well, it&#x27;s for the Vice audience after all).<p>Yes, Gandhi was human, and had many of the prejudices of his era plus some failings of his own.<p>What&#x27;s important is not what he thought and did in situations that nearly everybody else at the time thought the same, but what he did different and what impacted great change -- which is the reason we celebrate him for.<p>It&#x27;s like pointing out that Jefferson had slaves, or Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13yo cousin, or MLK was sleeping around as reasons to dismiss them.<p>Yeah, so? Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone, and also let them tell us what compared to the Declaration of Independence or Great Balls of Fire or the fight against racism have they done that was as important?
