So what is racist about asking what the skin colour of a child will be? Given Meghans background the baby could have easily been black or white. There was no suggestion that there was any racism, just that a conversation was had with the question about what colour.

The entire interview just seemed like two extremely privileged people trashing the very institution that gave given them this platform. If they hate the Royal Family then why keep the titles?

i am a minority in the usa and i can tell you that in my travels, germany and the UK are faaaaaaaaaar more racist than my lovely rural town in the midwest. coming back home to america is always a breath of relief.

i dont think you guys really understand how ingrained the idea of racial superiority is in the UK, it was the center point of the largest empire in the history of the world literally less than 100 years ago. that poo poo doesn’t stop overnight.

the brits don’t do racism like america where it’s aggressive and policed - they do it with you agreeing that yes, maybe whites are superior after all and then using the class system to keep you in your place.

and the loving royals are literally the top of that class system in the most obvious way

The UK's class system is also a good place to see what the group of "whites" really is. And their divisions are fetishistic anyway; you can see through the cultivation of accents, and the associations of those accents. The category (whites) seems very broad in the U.S, but is actually quite narrow in the UK.

Yet the greatest level of racism I have ever faced was in China. And the interesting thing is how clearly the racism was conveyed to my face, with aplomb. Seems that some people really do watch Jerry Springer and think that many Americans simply "are that way".

STILL TRYING HARD
When I was a young man I attended a presentation by a gentleman named David Icke. During this presentation a woman came up on stage that had allegedly worked in Buckingham Palace in some kind custodial role. She went on to describe in detail times she had witnessed the Queen and Prince Phillip transform into savage lizard-like beings. During these transformations - these metamorphoses - children would be bought in to be devoured alive. Scared the pants off me. I'll never go to Buckingham Palace. No thank you. I'll get my thrills elsewhere.

In all my travels the british were the people who treated me the worst. Just a total disdain for any foreigners. The first person I spoke to upon landing at the airport in the UK gave me poo poo for daring to stay longer than 2 weeks (Canadians are allowed up to 6 months with no visa), not believing me when I said I could afford to travel, detained me while letting my SO go through. Let me through after making me wait in their holding area for an hour.

Next time I went through the border I figured oh I'll just get a travel visa so all of this is taken care of beforehand. Nope. Even though I told the british government how long I stayed previously, paid for the additional 6 month travel visa, AND got it approved by them. I was still given poo poo by the border agents. These are the first people that a traveler will meet when they visit your country. How do you gently caress this up so hard? It will cloud a visitors entire experience.

Visiting China was easier. They are racist but at least they want your money. Brits seemed like they were doing you a favor for letting you into their country.

No European country gave a poo poo when they saw my Canadian passport. Neither did the US, at least with flights.

So if I understand correctly, someone in the royal family was very concerned about how dark their baby's skin was going to be, but they don't want to name this person because it would be bad for that person?

That's just luck of the draw I think, I've had poo poo from UK border guards and then some have been the nicest I've met. I've had the worst experiences in France, the middle east and the USA honestly but then I've had US ones being all beaming and smiles. It's a mind killing job though so I don't think judging a country based on their tsa is an accurate read of its people.
