Is it really racist to wonder what color the baby's skin might be?

Saying "it's just comedy" is such a cop out. When your comedy involves taking positions on social issues, you have to expect people to engage with them seriously

You don't know any comics. People like you are why there's nothing funny anymore.

Not sure if MeMeMeghan is racist but sure she's a tool.

She's such a liar. In order for her to not look black she spends tons of money and time on her hair. If you see older photos of her her hair is very naturally frizzy and it's black. I don't for one moment believe that she forgets she's black.

Great example. This contribution, in the context of this thread, is racist!

WTF?
How ? Why? You are freaking crazy.

DP. But she isn’t crazy.

More likely answer is: PP: you suffer from innate biases - likely racist ones - and when challenged, your white fragility rears its head.

Have you honestly, truly, sat down with your beliefs and confronted your racism?

My wife is asian and she couldn't stop talking about how she hoped our kids had as white skin as possible. It's very common in China and Korea to prefer that. But for some reason if one parent is black it's now racist to say such things. *shrug*

It's always racist when it's coming from a racist.

Just because it's common doesn't make it right.
Asian nation have a big colorism issue. And keep your pants on, I know you may not be familiar with colorism. Lighter is considered better, for many reasons to the discrimination of those who are darker.

It's one thing to wonder if your kids will have blonde hair and blue eyes, but if it's in the context of making sure they have Aryan features, well then that's a whole other problem. The implication in the case of the royal family is that a dark skinned child would have been seen as an imperfection in their bloodline.

Where are you getting this from?

um, the interview with Oprah where MM stated someone in the royal family was asking about skin tone of their baby? Why else do you think TRF would care about skin tone? Their entire existence is based on bloodline

The one I can believe is a total racist is Princess Michael of Kent, who wore a blackamoor brooch to an event where she met Meghan for the first time. Apart from that, I really am not seeing it.

If you knew anything about English culture you'd realize that having a ginger is considered by far the bigger imperfection.

MM put the out the accusation out there for all the world to hear and you can choose whether to believe it or not. I don't think it's that far out of the realm of possibility that certain members of TRF would not want a black baby in their line of succession (assuming everyone ahead of Archie died somehow).

The question should really be whether it is abnormal to be racist about a baby’s skin color or features? No, unfortunately it is not. Meghan has her father’s nose that is said to be one of the most requested shapes in plastic surgeons’ offices. She straightens her hair. Nearly the whole world has internalized Western/White beauty standards. Do you think she was secretly hoping her child would have 4C hair and her mother’s broader nose? Nope, it I was just painful to experience such entitled, casual racism. Until fairly recently, more black models just looked like white women with full lips and a tan. It will take many, many years of media representation to counter colorism and I am not optimistic about the change.

Megan has had rhinoplasty, like most celebs

I’m not a Meghan fan but it looks like her face just lost weight. Kind of how my nose widened when I got pregnant. It’s got the exact same shape and tip to my eyes just less baby fat or weight to fill her cheeks.
