Sure. For many reasons, I think Woodrow Wilson was a shameful individual and president.

Do you think that being offended by racism is just being "PC"? If so, what you're really suggesting is that racism is not a valid issue - not a significant aspect of American history and not something worth talking about today. So long as we're giving people a pass for thinking a certain way in 1872, then let's fast forward to 2013. Shouldn't we be more enlightened today?
