White people have no culture because white people don’t exist. It’s a made up race. All Europeans aren’t a single race, there’s like a hundred of European races. People just made up the idea of white people in America to make all the Europeans feel united in oppressing the brown and black people.
Even a “only from your country” museum would mostly be artifacts from indigenous people, which should be considered just as stolen. So what’s left after that’s returned?
Way to go out of your way to take offense. My point was that most countries hold artifacts of people they’ve subjugated or even removed. Taking over didn’t make those artifacts “theirs” anymore than it does for artifacts they’ve moved from other countries.
Well, apart from all the stone, bronze and Iron Age artifacts from our own country, and all the stuff (legally) on loan…
And properly bought, or received as gifts. These things do exist.
They do, the meme is just being cheeky about the Brits having notoriously sticky fingers throughout the 19th century.
Don’t interrupt their “museum bad” circlejerk
Which is itself just a dogwhistle for “white people are evil and have no culture”

Yeah, but let’s not pretend China, Japan and Southeast Asia didn’t do the same thing.

I’m sorry are indigenous people not counted anymore? Am I suddenly no longer American?

So what culture is the UK allowed to display? What’s the core culture they never conquered?
I just find the endless beating of a dead horse to be tiresome. Not all artifacts are stolen you dolt.

Good day to you too, woke up on the wrong side this morning?
So… Why don’t they return all the things they stole?
