Ah yes, that time of the year for the “I’m not racist but” secrets.

"sure I recognize that the mass collective British hateboner for Meghan Markle is rooted in racism, but I'm still going to participate in it"

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

Contrary to your beliefs, black people are still able to act like dicks.

[(Anonymous)]

So you think Harry and Meghan's behaviour has been entirely reasonable and they were in no way attempting to monetize their brand...?

[(Anonymous)]

Anon below

yes, they were wrong about some things. Yes, they are of the current generation and may be "attempting to monetize their brand." That would explain a side eye or three, not the massive hateboner for them and her in particular.

[(Anonymous)]

They're both mega wealthy mega privileged people who went on Oprah and complained that they couldn't get by if Harry hadn't been left 10s of millions by his mother... in the midst of a pandemic where hundreds of millions of people were losing all their income, and sometimes their homes. I find it difficult to give a shit about most of their complaints.

I'm not sure a random presumably nobody making a fandomsecret being sick of them is really comparable to the hateboner the British press has for them.

[(Anonymous)]

Not to mention that they've complained about loss of income, security protection and titles when... well, they gave those up when they decided to leave. If they're stayed working royals (and the royal family definitely wanted this) then they would've retained those things. But they didn't stay. That's like quitting your job and then being mad that you no longer get paychecks and an employee discount and a company car.

[(Anonymous)]

And yet they still got carted around on the tax-payers' dime during their promo tour recently (at least where I live).

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, found someone who still thinks the only definition of privilege is how much money and fame you have and systemic issues like racism don't affect you anymore if you have enough of the former.

[(Anonymous)]

That's not what ayrt at all, don't strain yourself trying so hard.

[(Anonymous)]

the reality is that british people, perhaps understandably, don't want to acknowledge the reality that tabloid hate campaigns are basically the dominant force in british society at this point

[(Anonymous)]

This. Yes, she was uninformed and unprepared and expected some things that weren't going to happen. But the massive hateboner Britain has for her is just beyond compared to the minimal amount she's actually done. Every single news article that even mentions her is so filled with hate. It is absurd.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, that whole thing wasn't because of racism. Her general treatment? Possibly. But she was also a fucking dumbass about the whole situation and tried to apply the race card to situations where it wasn't applicable.

[(Anonymous)]

+ 1 The treatment from the press is very much about racism. The royal titles thing... not racism. And it was, at best, a little disingenuous for them to pretend like it was about racism.

[(Anonymous)]

+2

Many of the things Meghan has complained about had nothing to do with racism, and just made her look bad. Such as complaining no one told her the lyrics to "God Save the Queen" - really? She didn't have any internet access? She couldn't have asked Harry?? Fuck's sake.

[(Anonymous)]

Lol she really said that?

[(Anonymous)]

She's an actress, she's used to always being given her lines. I guess.

[(Anonymous)]

The lyrics were always God Save Our Gracious Queen, mnah mnah mnah, [loudly] God Save The Queen. That is how everyone I know sings it, anyway. Or sang it, now we have to say King instead of Queen of course. The mumbling bit in the middle remains the same.

[(Anonymous)]

accurate

[(Anonymous)]

lolol. trufax.

[(Anonymous)]

"send her (him) victorious" roared out v. loudly when at sports finals. Very rarely does it actually happen.

[(Anonymous)]

you forgot the rumour that the "rebellious scots to crush" line is still there, even though it hasn't been part of it since about 1745 and if it was it was in about the ninth verse, which nobody alive cares about (the most i've ever heard at any performance is two verses and it was obvious nobody was expecting the second)

[tabaqui]

Sounds like a lot of people trying to sing the National Anthem (US).

[(Anonymous)]

I know the Eddie Izzard version (from about 30 years ago). God attack the queen // send big dogs after her // that bite her bum. (you kind of have to drag out "aaaaaah-tack" to make it fit).

And as I'm typing this, I've realised that I have completely forgotten the actual lyrics. They got deleted in order to save Izzard's words. Oh well.
