As Kearse points out, it is *extremely* ironic that the people in the Shakespeare Trust, who are supposed to be fans of his work, are the ones trying to "de-colonize" him. With "friends" like that, who needs enemies?

Shakespeare was a playwright and poet. His actual verbiage is what we admire, rather than whatever philosophy we might gratuitously infer from it. "Polishing" his words would be like applying CGI to the Mona Lisa.
