Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gandhi's views on race
The fact of the matter (as has been documented well on ''one'' side in this article) is that Ghandi spoke/wrote inconsistently with regard to his views of black African people.  At times, his references were complimentary and as brethren in a struggle, and at other times, as this article documents, his references were decidedly ''not'' so. Currently, the Ghandi article itself barely touches this.  It mentions that some have seen his use of "kaffir" as a sign of racism, but then explains that it's possible he used the word in its non-racist connotation.  But there is more to the issue (both in arguing for racism and in arguing aginst it) than with which connatation he used the word "kaffir".  Certainly this article has unacceptable problems with , , and .  But given the sourcing, if the entirety of the issue were given a fuller treatment than currently found in the Ghandi article, it seems as though this article here has some of the basic raw material that would go in ''one'' side of that treatment. Of course, the other side and its correpsonding quotes from Ghandi would need to be present, also.  The Ghandi article is already fairly long, so in fact, that might even be an argument to '''keep''' this as a separate article under its current title, though with '''''substantial'' revision''' to make it balanced, of course
