Half the issue is the British museum, and the other is the British government,

but as a result, we have stolen artifacts being kept for selfish and racist reasons.

like ,we got them, and you guys cannot be trusted with your own history.

As long as the country in question aren't currently in a serious crisis, artifacts should be returned.

I broadly agree. For example, the elgin marbles should be returned (after multiple copies have been made). The British Museum will never truly "own" their artifacts. The Rosetta Stone will never be British.

But remember, I was answering about stealing from the giftshop. You would never own or be able to sell anything stolen from it.

about that,

was referring to this:

Item Stolen From British Museum Worth $63K Listed on eBay for $51 https://share.google/Bihwd2rnwaGTk5JFs

just stating that they aren't as responsible as they claim, and their items ended up in eBay.
