I asked this before, I thought I'd try again.
There is a lot of talks right now of removing John A Macdonald statues for similar reasons to removing civil war Confederate statues. Generally, it seems like these arguments are around John A Macdonald's policies with regards to the Indigenous people in Canada.

But in the context of the time, I can't help thinking that it would be hard to find many politicians who wouldn't have held similar views. I don't mean to diminish the fact that Europeans inflicted genocide (or accepting my laymen's understanding of the debate around the word, at best what was effectively a genocide in all but some particularly strict definition) on the various indigenous peoples.
But I feel like the discussion about John A Macdonald is specifically about him being especially racist against indigenous people, more so than other political figures of the time. Is this accurate?
Although it's not a direct answer to your question, my answer to the question, "Was Geroge Washington racist?" might be useful. The gist, which applies to any historical figure is basically, there is no benefit or need to reduce a figure to a single word in terms of understanding them as a historical figure. This isn't to say we can't draw a conclusion as an individual; Thomas Jefferson comes to mind for me. I think he was an abhorrent human being and a racist. He was also an influential thinker in the history of American education. As such, I have to hold both thoughts in mind.
That said, you may find this session, Indigenous Histories Disrupting Yours: Sovereignties, History, and Power, from our recent conference relevant to your interests.
