When I was a child...

50. The worst type of racism comes from people who don't think they are.

Skin color? Who cares?

If the media hadn't made such a big thing about Meghan being 'not 100% white' I would have said she had a nice tan. And that it suited her.
Maybe guessed she was of Italian descent?

But no . . . the media: 'Not trying to be racist here, but look at Meghan's mother!'.

Sad.

Someone inside the palace asked out loud what color the baby might turn out like.
Should have kept quiet, and just waited to see. If they thought it was important.

Racism in the UK is a secret that is denied in public. Less so in America.

Wife, born and brought up in the UK, has 'sub Saharan African' genes. Courtesy of a visiting US GI during WW2.
Now, some 'dark' genes were thought to exist in her family tree, but proudly put down to Native American genes.

Wife did a genetics test and laughed when she got the results.
She didn't care. But she could name a few of her US and UK relatives who would be mighty upset about that.

Honestly, many Americans have features that possibly link them to African, Middle East, Mexican, etc descent.

Should we care?
Google 'genetic hybrid vigor' and you may realize some mixing of the gene pool is a good thing.
