I know you enjoy playing the Lozza Fox anti-woke warrior from time to time, Essex, and you enjoy the seething from some on here, but I in some ways agree with this. Meghan has used the racism line so effectively that saying it enough times therefore makes it true. Her argument essentially boils down to 'is it coz I is black?' without realising that criticism of a BAME person or people does not necessarily have to be racist.
Every person marrying or partnering up with a royal family member gets the rough treatment from the press. The more major the royal you date, the more attention you'll receive. It's not so long ago that Sarah Ferguson was the brunt of all the jibes and jokes from the media. Kate Middleton was deemed a commoner by some quarters. Her sister received dogs abuse for daring to upstage Kate at her wedding by wearing a figure hugging dress. Chelsy Davy was hounded relentlessly when she dated Harry. What's different about the endless stories Meghan has received? So much as get caught sneezing and it's newsworthy apparently.
The press had it in for her for a number of reasons which were independent of her skin tone - a divorcee American (Wallis Simpson-esque who equally had a tough time from the press and family), an actress with a bit of a profile already, an attention seeking father, a more liberal attitude against the do-your-duty stoical conservatism of the royals. Of course she was going to attract headlines. It doesn't mean that they're racist though.
I agree as well over Meghans use of the race card in her interview but it was helped a lot when she mentioned and Oprah drew a breath and paused for a few seconds and then said “ what “ that was Oprah bestirring the hornets nest for the viewers. Out of order.
