    Well, apart from all the stone, bronze and Iron Age artifacts from our own country, and all the stuff (legally) on loan…

        They do, the meme is just being cheeky about the Brits having notoriously sticky fingers throughout the 19th century.

          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.

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

        Museums aren’t bad you dolt. Stealing artifacts from other cultures is.

          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.

          I just find the endless beating of a dead horse to be tiresome. Not all artifacts are stolen you dolt.
