For a long while this was the case, however something as mainstream as The Simpsons calling him 'a massive racist' is an indication that this shift has at least partially infected the USA consciousness as well. I expect in places like South America he is still treated as a saint. I'd be interested to know how his reputation is currently elsewhere in Europe.
I can only speak for folks I meet day to day in the UK, and here, his reputation is in the toilet. As a fan, I'm glad he wasn't invited to Glastonbury, either to play a set or guest with The Pretenders, as he likely have been booed off the stage and had bottles of piss thrown at him. It would have been Daphene and Celeste all over again.
