Is it time to take FDR off the US dime

FDR sent hundreds of thousands of Japanese to internment camps during WWII simply for being of Japanese ancestry.
He was honored for this by having his image placed on the US dime, at the time one of the most widely circulated coins and even today still used in many cash transactions.
Isn't it time that we accept history, move on, and stop honoring such a racist?

I agree. Remove anything and any depiction of anyone who has ever been offensive at any time

Japanese-Americans were interned because we were at war with Japan, not because of their race.
