The answer used to be "no", but now I suppose it's becoming "yes". No historical figure is safe from being cancelled. Pick some random but important historical figure. Now google the name along with the word "racist" and you'll find some opinion piece about how that person was racist and needs to be cancelled. Henry Ford, Mark Twain, heck, you can even find articles about Abraham Lincoln holding "problematic" views.
