I, for one, welcome Japanese George Washington, Indian Hitler and Inuit Ghandi to our historical database.
Jojo Rabbit featured Jewish Maori Hitler and was very well received.
I think the lesson here is that political correctness isn't very machine learnable. Human history and modern social concerns are very complex in a precise way and really should be addressed with conventional rules and algorithms. Or manually, but that's obviously not scalable at all.
