Anonymous asked: I disagree, I think Kate Middleton definitely enjoys white privilege. Look how the media treats coverage of her family (her uncle was arrested for punching his wife unconscious in public while high on drugs literally less than a year ago and it got little media coverage) vs the way the media treats Meghan Markle's family problems (slavishly reporting on every word uttered by people she's not spoken to since childhood, and posting hinty racial slurs over photos of her).

Of course Kate benefits from white privilege. But it doesn’t mean it is OK to attack her individually for it. I don’t agree with this sort of collective punishment approach. Everyone should be judged on their own actions. 

And, of course, Meghan is judged harsher, just as I mentioned in the previous post. It is not only her race that is an issue for the British society, it is also her nationality and her class. And those things are very deep rooted, and people often are not even aware of them.

Ironically, the best way to make British society more equitable is to abolish roaylty. And yet, it is some of Meghan’s fans who’ve become very vocal defenders of the BRF, because they want the fairy tale to last.
