How many people die each year in the US because of the police? I don't disagree that racism is present in the UK. But it is not overt nor as impactful as it is in the US (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Kate was hounded when she was first rumoured to be going out with Will. This isn't something new or special Meghan is experiencing.

Royals are so lucky. If only there was an unambiguous list of the people I had to kill to gain ultimate power. I don't even know who this Miss Tindall lady is but she's just has to kill 17 (18 if you count the current Queen I guess) people to become Queen. I know it sounds like a lot but honestly it's a very achievable goal. Those people meet up for barbeques and balls all the time.

I wasn't saying there wasn't press coverage of both of them, it's the difference in the coverage with very unsubtle reasoning. See below for a front page I'd like to see an equivalent to. Your argument seems to be that Meghan getting transparently racist hounding in the press doesn't matter because other royals are also hounded in the press The same way as were saying on the last page that Britain being massively racist doesn't matter because theres racism in other countries too.

For example I might say that there is no beer in my house and by that mean that there is no beer in my house. You however may interpret that to mean that there is beer in my house but not the same quantities that one might find in a brewery.

DGC773 posted:Absolutely no way. Racism in the US is ingrained in it's society. The UK has never had segregation and does not have the same level of social division that the US has. London is one of the most multicultural cities in the world and there is no issue with police brutality. In London black people are 9 times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people and are almost 3 times more likely to be killed during arrest or in custody. There have been a number of cases in recent years where black people have been murdered by the London Metropolitan police using the same choke hold that was used to kill George Floyd. The UK has a complicit media, much more so than the US, that helps bury the truth. The BBC ran endless coverage on the murder of George Floyd but rarely covers killings by UK police. Of the dozens of people killed by British police in the past year, most of them barely get a mention on regional news bulletins and certainly don't get round-the-clock nationwide coverage. Another reason it doesn't get coverage is that people here are much less aware of their right to film police activity than in the US. British police are trained to use bullshit threats such as seizing phones for evidential purposes or quoting the Public Order Act to get people to stop filming. They rely on people's ignorance of the law, whereas in the USA people are more aware of their right to record police activity. Give every British cop a gun and see how that works out for black people.

Look at how the UK press questions public officials, it is FAR different to the US they actually ask pushing questions.
