I'm convinced that there is literally nothing that cannot be misconstrued as racist if somebody looks hard enough. Christ
That's why I'm generally uneasy with the removal of monuments and renaming of buildings. Cancel culture is a cancer that if not contained just spreads. People are looking for anything to pat themselves on the back and score brownie points and social cred.
Missed out on the opportunity to jump on the backwagon to rename a building named after a long-dead vile racist? No worries, you can contribute to the dismantling of systemic racism by finding something as docile as this offensive and ending a cheer.

And THAT is the biggest danger here. It’s not people wanting to see things changed, it’s the decision makers overcompensating with the changes they elect to make. I’m betting on the social balance here, that whereas there is a loud push to change things, there is an equally large group in opposition. Politicians will need to appease both sets of voters which means some things get changed but not all. Of course, I’m a terrible gambler and could end up regretting it but I’m hopeful that’s how it shakes out.
