    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.
