Only the left is calling the statues "participation trophies". Normal people are referring to them as monuments.
How would the left feel about calling Native American statues "participation trophies"?

Native American statues are monuments to the people themselves. Confederate statues are remembrance of their actions during the war.
Well, guess we can tear down all those Holocaust memorials too, then...

Mind explaining the distinction?

According to the right, the left embraces "participation trophies", so I guess they're fine with it.
Except that the "participation trophy" narrative is a strawman to begin with...

I always comment back, "Absolutely agreed, which is why we should bulldoze Auschwitz and Dachau. Are there any greater sites of pure emotional torment than these two monuments to the Third Reich? It's time we tore them down and stopped giving Nazis such an important symbol."
You should see the absolute butt-flustering that results. "But Muh muh, never forget!!!"

We have monuments to Vietnam vets and they're losers. No shame in putting up statues to people who fought for your state.

Non-Whites don't get to have a say in White culture, heritage or countries.

American Indians should be deported back to Mongolia, where they came from.
>>137889789
But they aren't participation trophies. They are monuments to those who died in the war
>>137890452
Wrong. The Nazis lost.
>>137890289
And Malcolm X preached race segregation, Muhammad Ali explicitly denounced race mixing, and MLK was a womanizer.
It's almost like historical figures are complicated.

What is there to explain? It's the same as monuments to collectively commemorate Italian Americans, Australian Chinese or any other ethnic minority.

Then lets get rid of cemetaries and graves. People who died clearly lost at life
>>137890010
Yeah until we start removing Native American statues, OP's argument is invalid
>>137889789
