Thank you for a fascinating article. You've demarkated the good and bad in this space very clearly. Also, I had not known Gordon of Khartoum had such an illustrious role in supressing the Taiping Rebellion.
race remains a think -> thing
(footnote 9) role models being helped up -> held up
"nor that they had an impact on society in any way comparable to that of the Windrush generation or today’s mass immigration flows are on modern British society" tries to grammatically jump ship mid-stream, rather like this metaphor.
"Florence Nightingale. was a Giant." I appreciate the emphasis of the full stop after Florence Nightingale, but I think her accomplishments can stand without ornamentation (the following sentence however would value another comma).

Thank you for both the kind words and the typo spotting!
The Taiping Rebellion features heavily in Flashman and the Dragon, with Gordon making a brief appearance.
