As someone who is himself biracial (black and white) I can tell you with 100% certainty from personal experience that racism and stupidity are, more often than not, connected at the hip (i.e. people hold racist views because they are ignorant/stupid people). Therefore what Meghan’s dad was really saying is:

Jesus, what a creep your grandad there. You really should have told him to eat shit and die while he was alive, if you didn’t get the chance. It’s important not to let life go to waste with words unsaid. 

I had to look up both of these individuals, and found them in the dictionary next to “shallow”. 

I know this is obvious to most people, except apparently the ones at Good Morning Britain, but having a black family member doesn’t make you suddenly an expert in racism or even slightly less racist.

I just want to comment with a <3 and support. Mortal Dictata has some very bad takes here. They’re doing their best to ignore and invalidate the racism at place here and like... bold for someone who spends all of their time on Jezebel. Also, the “actually you’re the racist ones” bit at the end of their last argument…

They are not facing on your street violence. The attempted kidnapping of Princess Anne happened in front of Buckingham Palace. Kim Kardashian was kidnapped in a five star Paris Hotel. General crime statistics affecting poorer communities in countries really mean nothing when talking about this kind of targeted…

You seem to be conflating some issues. So just to set straight what I got from the interview. The concerns about security began when Meghan was pregnant, i.e. when they were senior working royals. (My understanding is being a senior working royal is a full time job, no? You all wouldn’t say it would be distasteful to…

A friend of mine was marrying into a Catholic family. I have no idea if she was going to convert. I suspect it never got that far because they wanted to marry outside in a specific park, and the Catholic Church refused to do outdoor weddings. Everything had to be physically done in the church.

The gist of white liberals making anti-Meghan comments from what i’ve seen (that are not riddled in racism both casual and obvious and misogyny) “she’s rich, why is she complaining, suffer & die in silence, no one cares”

I’m sorry if it hurt or offended you.

Darling Lili, starring Julie Andrews and Rock Hudson; directed by Blake Edwards, released 1970

Honest question: Was Janice Dickinson REALLY a “supermodel”? I think of supermodels as the Really Big Names who are ubiquitous. I was a kid in the 70s and I knew who Lauren Hutton, Christie Brinkley and Cheryl Tiegs were, and then learned of more big names as I got older, but I never, ever heard of JD until her…

I think you meant to say “Tortugas Ninja Adolescentes Mutantes”

I’m not one of those tough guys that refuses to cry. I have a tough time with grief. Both my own and seeing it in others. So it was tough watching that video of Taylor accepting the award on her husband’s behalf. Glad I did though.

I think that calling these dumb parties transphobic is a little harsh. I think a better term is binary-centric. Just like when I told a very good friend in law school that he was being hetero-centric, he thought I was saying he was homophobic, which he wasn’t at all. I explained that not disliking queer people is one…

The people who can’t seem to understand what Harry and Meghan talk about when discussing privacy and how intrusive british media have been are people who absolutely violate other people’s boundaries

“Are You Surprised that Gwen Stefani Drives a Minivan?

Shelton also claims, later in the interview, that he still feels like fans might look at Stefani and say, “Like, ‘How can she possibly want to be with this guy? It has to have been like a mix-up, right?’”

Few small things:
