What about those who seem quite happy about such recent incidents as students literally burning 'colonial' artwork or asking for statues to be removed? That seems pretty extreme.

No one's saying the legal system is fine (though that said, it should be pointed out that it's biased in more ways than one and on more than race), but there's definitely a bunch of people trying to tar everyone with the same brush, and thinking that certain things are the only differentiators.

Asking for statutes to be removed is extreme? Burning things in protest is extreme? I think we use the word extreme differently, seems pretty tame.
