People are so disconnected from reality. Che was notoriously racist against blacks. He thought they were to stupid to be trained.
Same thing with Mahatama Ghandi. People love quoting him. Little do people know that he was extremely racist against African Americans. He called them, "Kaffirs." (derogatory name for African Americans).
"Ours is one continual struggle against a degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the Europeans, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir* whose occupation is hunting, and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with and, then, pass his life in indolence and nakedness.”
“We believe as much in the purity of race as we think they do… We believe also that the white race of South Africa should be the predominating race.”
“Under my suggestion, the Town Council must withdraw the Kaffirs from the Location. About this mixing of the Kaffirs with the Indians, I must confess I feel most strongly. I think it is very unfair to the Indian population."
“The British rulers take us to be so lowly and ignorant that they assume that, like the Kaffirs who can be pleased with toys and pins, we can also be fobbed off with trinkets.”
“We were all prepared for hardships, but not quite for this experience. We could understand not being classed with the whites, but to be placed on the same level with the Natives (Kaffirs) seemed too much to put up with.”
“Kaffirs are as a rule uncivilised – the convicts even more so…. The reader can easily imagine the plight of the poor Indian thrown into such company!”
