It's not just their history, it's our history and there have been other cultural groups in better position to give an accounting of it from the time it became a shared history (especially pre-conflict) for the purpose of commemoration. They're not just asserting who makes that decision for their own culture, they're aggressing to make that determination for all cultures. Disagreeing with that is tantamount to saying I know better than you how to commemorate my part of our shared history together. I wouldn't aggress against Native Americans for having a football team called the Palefaces or even the Forked Tongues if that's what commemorates their part of our shared history. If they can't reciprocate, that's their problem:
"No matter how badly you are broken, you can always build yourself back up. It takes time. Don't let your struggle become your identity."
