I don’t normally do this, but I see this from time to time, so just so you know:
wary: feeling or showing caution about possible dangers or problems.
leery: cautious or wary due to realistic suspicions
weary: feeling or showing tiredness, especially as a result of excessive exertion or lack of sleep
I’m sorry if this was annoying rather than helpful!
Honestly, it’s not as bad as I expected. It’s one of those ones with a big angel on top, and then a bunch of scenes around the base, and I’m assuming the problematic bits are just among the scenes somewhere.
I’m not saying it should be restored, but it’s not like it’s a statue of only the bad stuff. I could see how someone who doesn’t really care could look at the picture from afar and go “what!? They took down a commemorative grave monument? Sacrilege!”
I guess what I’m saying is that it’s not like they necessarily voted to put up a big statue of a slave, they voted to put up a statue with many figures, including a slave in it somewhere. Still probably best to leave it gone, though.
