I'm willing to bet more people are against Meghan not because she's mixed race, but because she's a shameless self-promotor in the California stylie.

Of course not but it certainly would give a person a different perspective

Marrying an American gave me a different perspective but I don't feel qualified to apply my findings to everyone.

Well, as famous as you are on TiBB I presume in r/l you don't regularly do TV and Magazine interviews where they ask for your opinions?

I think the word you're looking for is 'infamous'. Or so it's being spun at the moment.

Nobody said he was an authority. It's a magazine piece.

The guy is under the thumb. He needs to put his foot down and get his missus in line.

Did I read somewhere that they plan to only have 2 children, because of climate change. Harry didn't think this way before she came into his life

If Harry doesn't put his foot down, then the Queen should. .

Totally agree, he's her mouthpiece and very much under her thumb ,It wont be long before the Queen steps in as she has in the past ... Double standards on climate change ! Has she forgot her private jet to USA just for a baby shower ?

Anything that gets people thinking or talking about issues that minority groups or the world as a whole face can only be a good thing surely? He has a massive platform to get his message across, whether you agree with it or not. In my opinion, this is what the Royals should be doing, not playing polo and going hunting. Get people talking about issues that affect us all - like it or not some people respect the Royal Family (mainly in other countries tbh) so if they take heed of what he is saying - surely it can only be a good thing, no?

Prince Charles has taken shtick for years because he is involved in the environment. Meghan does it and it's relevant.

How fickle are people?

My political Independence is free.........Wonder if the left would be for Harry hadn't his wife be black, and left herself.

I love Harry, not keen on Meghan. I wasn't bothered really when taxpayers footed the bill for their extensive house alterations despite the fact that they seem to be doing quite well financially. I don't need them to educate me on green issues, Harry's father has been doing that for decades. They say their child will be raised in private and yet they are quite happy to manipulate the press for their own issues.

LOL... like we need a website to tell us who's racist, and how deeply, when we have all the finger pointers at TiBB!

I'm wondering if the same kind of thing exists for anti-Semitism.

And the decision to ask the public purse for renovations will have been hers alone?...That was a genuine point for criticism the fact that happened but to point the finger at Meghan alone is silly.
As you say they are not the first royal to raise awareness so criticism there is unjustified.
Using this medium to do it is genius,the arts and fashion world have long been obsessed with young stylish royals. This is a way of giving back, they are modern royals who dont choose to sit in an ivory castle forever.
This Vogue cover has nothing to do with manipulating the press. The hacks themselves are the manipulators here.

People sure are angry about someone making a level-headed comment about subconscious racial bias. I mean I get that it's something that some will understand, and others might struggle to get their heads around but.... Outrage? Just why .

Fascinating post, so much to pick up on.

You say you dont come into contact with black people on a regular basis and racism is not something you think about but you then go on to state, with a degree of certainty, that racism isnt an issue. How can you possibly say that with such certainty when you admit you dont think much about it?

Here is your result:
Your data suggest a moderate automatic preference for European Americans over African Americans.

Your result is described as an "Automatic preference for African Americans over European Americans" if you were faster responding when African Americans and Good are assigned to the same response key than when European Americans and Good were classified with the same key. Your score is described as an "Automatic preference for European Americans over African Americans" if the opposite occurred.

Your automatic preference may be described as "slight", "moderate", "strong", or "no preference". This indicates the strength of your automatic preference.

The IAT requires a certain number of correct responses in order to get results. If you made too many errors while completing the test you will get the feedback that there were too many errors to determine a result.

Note that your IAT result is based only on the categorization task and not on the questions that you answered.

wow, that is a clever test

so I'm unintentionally moderately racist
not surprised tbh, i was brought up in 100% white environment.
glad that i'm intentionally not racist so can compensate as much as I'm aware of it
