I expected them to cut it out of the wall and sell it to the highest bidder. Would fit the british colonial style.

That's for when it's "art". When the message goes against the mandated mission, they call it "vandalism".

Seeing african tribes as barbarians didnt stop the british from stealing their art tho.

That's because it didn't violate the narrative. And stealing it enforced theirs.

I guess that does make sense yeah.
