Yes. It’s got some issues, but its not spewing lies nor being racist. That being the case, I’m inclined to allow an artist some space.

There’s something there about “martial race.” I can’t copy it but it’s about this spew:

Martial race was a designation created by Army officials of British India after the mutiny of 1857, where they classified each ethnic group into one of two categories, ‘martial’ and ‘non-martial’.[citation needed] The ostensible reason was that a ‘martial race’ was typically brave and well-built for fighting,[1] while the ‘non-martial races’ were those whom the British believed to be unfit for battle because of their sedentary lifestyles. However the real reason was to justify that, after British-trained Indian soldiers rebelled after the war of 1857, the British increased recruitment from the races which had remained loyal to the British and diminished or abandoned recruitment from the catchment area of the Bengal army.[2] The concept already had a precedent in Indian culture as one of the four orders (varnas) in the Vedic-Hindu social system are known as the Kshatriya, literally “warriors.”

I can excuse the historical figures perhaps. But not a modern.
