I totally get the removal of a lot of the US statues. But given Bristol's history, in the case of this particular statue I'd have thought it would be better to keep it (but not on a plinth) and change how it is described - maybe part of a wider educational display.
Obviously Colston's name being attached to all the schools etc. is a different matter.
