It's funny though. I love Japanese paintings of cliffs and waterfalls. Chinese paintings of cliffs and waterfalls. I love paintings from India of cliffs and waterfalls. Never did I say to myself... "those Japanese people must hate me because of their paintings" nor did I ever once imagine that they made me feel unwelcome. In fact, I'd say, hey, wouldn't it be great to see those in real life. Clearly what they're doing here is the same as everything else they do. The appreciation of western art even if it has barely an idea in it at all that is political must be perceived as such. The Mona Lisa is next. Shakespeare. How about Michaelangelo. Perhaps all the actual trees, wildflowers and grasses should be removed and replaced. Can't have native wild plants. Those weeds are racist. Cemetaries will also be next. Can't offend people by suggesting that there is death, or that we used to 'remember' the dead. It will probably happen this year that any building or structure, even it's been there for 500 years, with a cross or crucifix must be removed or torn down...after all, it's a hate crime...
