I don't know if you've been to any internet discussions regarding Wilson, but it's rarely positive and he's usually posited as the worst president in US history. Before you say this could be subjective and it's not like this, just try searching his name on r/historymemes, r/history, it's mostly full of negative posts and comments, compare the results to similar ranking US Presidents. This is one of the most popular videos on Wilson and its title of "the election that ruined everything" isn't exactly the most flattering. Another popular video paints Wilson as basically the most evil person. Popular video with 3million views ranks Wilson as the 7th worst US President. Video by a news channel taht isn't overly negative has a comment section filled by negative comments.

On the other side, C-Span survey on historians about the best US president, he's in the top ranks. Siena College ranks him in/near top 10 as well. Other also rank him pretty high.

Is the public focusing too much on his racism and ignoring his "great" contributions? Or are these historians biased? Or is there something different?
