There are black British nobles, and I have no doubt that they are treated worse than the white ones.

They’re still better-off than commoners, though.

Neat, we had a black president but your thing is pretty cool too I guess

it can be argued that snobbery is just highly inbred (somewhat literally, among the nobility) racism.

I'd say they definitely come from the same place.

Just that snobbery is just as happy sneering at people regardless of their skin colour.

i'm sure that the british upper crust are viscerally uncomfortable on some level with guys like rishi sunak showing up, but the sunaks of the world are at least *real people* in a way that probably 99.9% of humanity fundamentally isn't

the upper classes are deeply hosed up for a variety of reasons, and the british in particular are abused into conforming with an ultra-weird world view

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

On one hand, they're almost right. The queen and the rest of the royals don't really care if Meghan Markle is black.

That's not to say they're not racist. Oh gently caress no. They're racist right down to their inbred haemophilic bones.

It's just that their racism plays a distant second fiddle to the one thing which truly guides their every moment - snobbery.

There was a story many years back when the princes first started dating and one of their girlfriends got the boot immediately after meeting ER because she used the word "bathroom" not "water closet" or something equally stupid. But it revealed she wasn't one of their 'class' and that just wasn't acceptable.

Pretty sure the generally accepted story is that the royal family set the press on harry and megan (not that they needed much goading) to draw attention away from andrew being a nonce

eh Harry and Meghan have shown no desire to DO anything, it makes them the best royals because they want to just gently caress off to their mansion but let's not go crazy and say there's any signs of them actually using their obscene wealth to go against their own class interests and all.
