[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read this entire thread nor was I ever interested in the BRF before this last year or two.  I think Megan Markle coming out on Oprah to discuss such a faint shade of racism in a year such as the year we've just had is extremely out of touch and goes to show what a privileged jerk she is.  I don't care if someone asked how dark her baby might be.  I really don't.  It's not news that the BRC might be not be as woke as her CA a** and how slighted she feels in a pandemic year and a year of police brutality and murder....pffffttt. NO ONE cares. Go live your richy rich life in Santa Barbara and good job on alienating your husband from his family.  YOU SUCK.[/quote]

If someone asked her with concern how dark skinned her baby would be, that is not "a faint shade of racism." Are you kidding? (I obviously have no idea if this happened, but the allegation is not trivial from my perspective.)[/quote]

If it was Charles (who also walked her down the aisle remember?) - it might have been old person cluelessness along the same lines as referring to people of Asian descent as "Orientals".
Perhaps it wasn't intended to be offensive, it might have just been curious politeness that was spun out of control.  Given the track record of these two grifters (H&M) I lean towards it being innocuous comment by out of touch royalty.  [/quote]

Or it might have been William, we don't know.  What's also interesting is that Harry, who overheard the comments, chose to share them with Meghan -- who would have been more directly hurt by such comments.

While the comments might not have been intended to be offensive, they were in no way "innocuous ".  Racism, even casual, built-into-the-culture racism is never innocuous. [/quote]

It's not racist to speculate on whose looks your grandchild (if it was Charles) might inherit. This happens ALL the time.  I am sure the family ruminated on ginger hair as well.[/quote]

Many people who have never been personally, negatively impacted by racism would likely agree with you.

Right.

But here’s the thing: anyone who has felt racism assumes otherwise innocent comments are racist. That doesn’t mean they actually were racist comments. All it means is the person interprets it that way. [/quote]

So, your argument is that white people, and others privileged enough to have never experienced racism themselves should be the ones who get to determine what is “racist” and what is not?  Nah. 
People who benefit from racism don’t get to be the only judges of what is and isn’t racist. It’s mighty white of you to suggest this though.  
I’m sure that your suggestion that anyone personally impacted by racism is necessarily biased is “innocent”.  [/quote]

Because only whites are racist amiright? It's a two way street even when you twist definitions.[/quote]
