lmao look at all these lily white bitches acting like racism wasn't a factor in this at all.

sure, jan, sure, and the blacks are just uppity.

Dude, no. Not getting royal titles wasn't because of racism, that's how it works in the royal family for the white members as well.

And look at you, idiot American, assuming you know stuff you don't. Princess Anne's kids don't have titles. Must be racism, right?

Anyone in any comment thread on this journal: Racism exists, and considering the unsubtle racist media surrounding these specific figures, it's fair for people to speculate on it
Someone like you, invariably: Idiot American, always assuming, unlike me who has assumed nothing here

No anon you don't get it, thread OP has to be American because racism only exists in America. The UK is all about that much more worldly and sophisticated form of prejudice known as classism (and there is so correlation or overlap whatsoever between the two).

Plenty of people here: there is racism but it has little to nothing to do with her son not getting a title.
You: lel Lily white bitches don't know nothing

Yeah, you sound like a tool.

Oh, I absolutely believe that the royal family was racist towards Meghan. Just that the prince/princess titles for their kids was already settled before Harry and Meghan even met - none of the Queen's great-grandchildren except William's get that title, because William is in the direct line of succession.

nayrt - Yes. This is what people don't seem to understand. Racism is definitely a factor in many of the things that have happened to Meghan. But there's zero evidence that it's a factor in why her kids didn't get royal titles, and there's plenty of solid evidence that racism isn't a factor in this specific situation.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who don't know any better believed Meghan and Harry when they implied that racism was the reason behind the lack of royal titles. It feels like a deliberate strategy, one that's clearly worked on some people here.

Nah I'm just sick of the UK not admitting it has a fucking racism problem, just as bad as the US but more insidious. Acting like those kids aren't viewed with any racism at all is bullshit and you know it. OP's a lily white person who's never experienced a day of racism in their life and is trying to cry that UK is soooooo racism-free.

(Anonymous) 2021-07-21 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
The UK absolutely has a racism problem (and I say that as a lily white Brit), but the semantics are different to the situation in the US. Not that it makes it any better - it's just as bad, just with a different history/
