What should be done, Racist connotations or a well loved landmark?
Is it the words or the Decoration? To me it is obviously a stylised bird, in 1880 it was photographed as "The Jim Crow"

Do we remove the landmark because a small minority are offended?

I can think of a thousand more offensive things that these people never contemplate.
