she's black and white. Which is why people are excited ignoring that she looks white and is for all purposes white identified. This is not Lupito N'yogo becoming a princess.

She looks like a tan white girl.

Minirities who pass for white have always had the easiest time assimilating.

I don't think she herself purposely passed for white at all. I believe her when she says she is proud of being biracial.

Even her Suits character is presented as biracial with Wendell Pierce playing her father. Her other roles were so minor that ambiguity was less about "passing" than blink and you miss her.

It's not the character she plays that makes her white identified.
She keeps her hair straight reducing the chances she'll be instantly seen as biracial and/or part black.
She largely surrounds herself by white people.
She has not spoken out about black issues.
Considering she is biracial this makes sense.
People acting like this is a "win" for minorities or black people are wrong.

It actually makes perfect sense. They'll get to having children right away as opposed to a younger woman who might want to wait 5 + years.

Yes. I know minorities like her. They are treated as, and think of themselves as "tan white girls." The historical issues people of color face do not apply to them because they do not look very different than white people. They wear their hair straight, only hangout with white people, dress like whites people, make white people cultural references.

When you ask them about race they say race isn't really a thing.

Precisely she's marrying into a family of racists. Heck her fiance dressed up as a Nazi for giggles this is not something a non white-identified minority would do.

What's not to believe? Vanity Fair is hardly some high brow publication. Sure it's not a total trash rag, but it seems perfect for what Harry and Meghan want to be- a celebrity couple they like the fame and attention.

These two remind me of JFKjr and Carolyn Bessette. I'm getting the same type of energy from them.

Hopefully, they fair better.

You guys do know that many biracial people have naturally straight hair right? As an actress, I'm sure she straightens her hair to get roles. Remember, white people are scared of AA/biracial natural hair. How do you guys know who she surrounds herself with? She states Serena Williams is one her closest friends. Serena maybe be having a baby with a white dude, but she stands for blackness all day long.

Also to prove you're black you have to speak out about black issues?

Do you guys speak out about "white" issues?

What else must one do to pass the black test?

Interesting observation. I don't get that because Harry and Meghan don't seem tumultuous or volatile at all, just really happy and confident together. I don't think they have been angry the few times that the press has photographed them together. They seem grounded. JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette were caught fighting in Central Park, had other public tiffs and were known to have broken up more than once before they wed. He even purportedly spent the night before they died in a hotel after a spat - also from a Vanity Fair piece I think - before taking of to fly to Hyannis for Rory Kennedy's wedding.

You know cause I got some free time, I'm going to play with you. In what world is Serena Williams "white identified"?

Is it her big butt?

Her CRIPT walking when winning Wimbledon?

Her donating over 3 million dollars to AA inner city tennis clubs?

Opening a school in Africa?

Is it because she wears weave?

Is it being a Jevoha's Witness?

Is it because she's worth over $150 million dollars?

I mean what is it?

In fact, please define what makes one "white identified"?

Of course many biracials can have straight hair. Meghan doesn't.
Your argument for her straightening her hair and having a token black friend lends credence to their white identified argument.
As for passing the black test, I think to do that one must be black.
Meghan isn't black which is what pps were pointing out to people like yourself who were getting excited about this as if it's a sign of something.
