Yes. Those western colonizers still showing off the stolen goods at their museum.

It's wild how the Brits didn't do a free returns policy as part of decolonisation. They just KEPT the stuff they nicked off of 2/3 of the world like it always belonged to them.

The more I think about this theft the more the fire in the heart burns. There should be demands for reclamation of our artifacts.

All artifacts should be returned to their original countries. If the Brits want to see the real thing, they should go where they are. Museums can show replicas with photos of the original. But we know how the Brits refuse to give anything back unless they absolutely have to.

I agree with you.
I said in another thread that the Greeks should receive their artifacts back after the British damaged them beyond repair

I look forward to the day China MAKES the looters return them.
'Give them back. NOW.'
West: 'Orrrr.....?'
'You do not want to know.'

When a rich person is getting ready to leave, one of the first things they take are the antiques.

My prediction is that in time, it will just be seen as being too politically incorrect to hold these plundered relics by the former colonizing countries. Their will be a massive outcry by the global majority forcing the museums to sheepishly return them to their rightful owners.

In time, perhaps. But it will not exactly be due to "political correctness"- the western world (as someone living in/raised in it) has no true decency and appeals to that will fall flat.
It will be due to the rest of the world having leverage, and having developed past the west, and having cooperated and coordinated with other nations who have suffered western plunder (ie. over 90% of the world, even many colonized and occupied peoples in the west as well as east and south Europeans among others).
The west will try everything and anything to hold onto what it has stolen, the world has seen this time and time again. The only thing that works on them (western institutions and elites in particular) is the threat of actual consequences for their actions.

I think the only "good" thing to be said about the British is that they provided the world with what could be considered a "common" tongue, but other than that, they were basically Nazi Germany but on a global scale, and for many centuries at that.
They should be forced to give back everything they stole from China and from other places around the world too.

Although still very Eurocentric, I kinda wish Esperanto had more success. English is a wacky, nonsensical language that only the French should be forced to learn.

British Museum claims to be the best place to showcase these artifacts as a part of world culture. Yet far more than can be displayed are locked away , some even being "lost".
Others, especially the controversial parts of it are closed to visitors, such as the area displaying the karyatid stolen from the Erechtheion. Acropolis Museum displays the rest with a spot left empty for the stolen one.
