Why would it be a problem? Not really the color on it's own that's the issue, Antifa/BLM weren't around when golliwogs were removed from jam jars.

Tbf Uncle Ben is recognised by its orange packaging rather than the image so just take it off

Hope so, they can’t in all conscience take the scholarship if they remove the statue, at least I hope not

'If you're gonna take away the statue, you BETTER take away the scholarship too!'

What kind of warped argument is that?!

Change it's name and find new investers if you have to, keep the benefits of the scholarship. To try to hold the chance for someone to go to Oxford who normally would be unable to hostage, in order to try to force some dog**** standard is ****ed up.

A tonne of scholarships are going belly up because of the "economic uncertainty" anyway.

Thoughts on companies paying reparation ??

Two of Britain’s biggest organizations will donate to projects benefiting ethnic minorities after an academic database highlighted their roles in slavery.

Global insurance firm Lloyd’s of London and pub chain Greene King both said they might pay after historical links to slavery were described in a University College London index,

The crazy part, is that these are police officers on their best behaviour. Under so much more scrutiny after George Floyd, and they're still doing what they want without fear of consequence.

Replacement rather than retraining is going to be needed.
