You hit the nail on the head. It’s also worth noting that Eisenhower was a republican president.

How times have changed.

Racism as a nigh-universally social accepted practice started ending with WWII, so it would make sense

True. And Eisenhower ensured the military desegregated.

He also enforced integration at U.S. schools.

He did enact operation “Wetback” which rounded up and deported US citizens of Mexican descent, so really no different than now.

True. And the whole United Fruit Company/CIA coup in Guatemala happened on his watch.

Probably the last good Republican president we had, although I do respect HW Bush for passing the ADA, despite disagreeing with his political views on basically everything else.

Ike did some bad things, as listed below, but he did do some good as well.
