This is a historical object that must be viewed in the context of its time. Stereotypical representations and racism are wrong and do not reflect our current ideas of a diverse world. Our mistakes in the past should not be erased from history by hushing them up and banishing their artefacts. We recommend a critical approach to these objects.
