Churchill had a negative view of all kinds of people. He is quoted as saying I am in favor of using poisonous gases against uncivilised tribes or I do not admit … for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia..
As for Bengal famine, when the then Viceroy of India asked Churchill about this, IIRC, he replied that if the famine was so bad, why wasn’t Gandhi dead yet?
Many defend Churchill as a person of his time but that is contextually untrue. The Vice President of US, Wallace under Roosevelt found Churchill’s views very condemning when the later started boasting about English superiority to him as well.
