Not all myths are true and most are twisted to support right wing myths.
Gandhi in his early 20’s has prejudice against Africans, and his greatness lie
in reinventing himself to overcome those prejudice. Indeed it’s one of the
most difficult to transform oneself and that’s what he precisely did again and
again.

Four aspects of Gandhi's legacy remain relevant, not just to India, but to the
world.

1\. First, non-violent resistance to unjust laws and/or authoritarian
governments.

2\. Second, the promotion of inter-faith understanding and religious
tolerance.

3\. Third, an economic model that does not rape or pillage nature.

4\. Fourth, courtesy in public debate and transparency in one's public
dealings.

If you want you can read Ramchandra Guha’s work [1], who wrote about his
racist views and transformation.

Also one another anecdote:

In 1962, when British filmmaker Richard Attenborough began researching what
would become his 1982 Gandhi film, he asked Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first
prime minister, how he should portray his late colleague. Nehru famously
replied that Gandhi was "a great man, but he had his weaknesses, his moods and
his failings." He begged Attenborough not to turn Gandhi into a saint. He was
"much too human," Nehru said.
