How is it, that we discuss anti-semitism and none of us doubt it's happening. But when a black woman says she's facing racism, we jews don't back her up?

I don't discount that what Meghan faces is probably a bit of racism. You'll always have the nutjobs.
But I think that the majority of people dislike her for her behavior. We like stoic people who sacrifice for other people. To this day, even Princess Diana, the penultimate Tragic Beloved Royal Figure, is badmouthed by a lot of people for her histrionics and her constant running to the press for TMI interviews that probably traumatized her sons.

The Queen weathers every storm and has emerged from an insanely long reign quite universally beloved. Why? Because she's a blank slate, and she keeps quiet. The very few times she had dared to complain in public (the year her palace burned down, the year everyone got divorced), people remembered and mocked her, and she started to pay income taxes for the first time.

The lesson is to be grateful and not to complain. I say these lessons not to the royal family, who don't care what I think, but to myself. It's an incredibly in-your-face life lesson, and you can see how they succeed when they follow it. Meghan and Harry may get a short boost of popularity and sympathy from this Oprah interview, but it won't last.

I don't doubt there's some racism.
But not nearly enough for the amount of whining.
Let's take a Jew who doesn't bother wearing a mask and gets kicked off the plane. Is it antisemitism? Maybe some. But most of the bad feelings are due to not reading the room and following the standard.
Some of her experiences were racism. And that should be addressed. But most of the strong feelings are due to get not reading the room and following standards.

I think Meghan has done a lot of damage to the British royal family, and as an American, I'm here for it.

When people here complain that the media is focusing on them for Covid, and it's anti-semitism, how many people here say, "It's our own fault for our behavior?" A lot. A whole lot.

I don’t like her but don’t expend that much emotional energy on them.
A friend of mine did tell me that she’s reminded of her own family dynamics...


lol don’t think so deep. 🙄

I didn’t say there’s no racism. But when having a discussion if In general people like her or not I am giving my opinion that race doesn’t have to do with it. I think people wanted to like her when they got engaged.

Didn’t read the whole thing but I think it’s ridiculous to say she’s so hated because of racism.
People don’t like her because of all the nasty things she’s done. She has a history of a social climber and stepping on anyone who gets in her way.
The way she pulled her husband away from everyone he loves, is symptomatic of a narcissist with a super low self esteem. I actually have a soft spot for Harry and I feel bad that he was fooled by her.
I love Kate. I think she’s a class act and rose to the occasion of what her duties demanded.

You know Kate lived with William before marrying him? I don’t understand this fascination with the British monarchy. Queen Elizabeth still wears a crown filled with stolen jewels.

I can't believe people here think this is blown up because Meghan is black. For me personally I dislike her for the rift she caused in her husband's family. He was so unbelievably close to his brother. He was so loved by his mother and really seemed to get messed up from her death, not surprisingly. I feel Meghan took advantage of him. These are the reasons I dislike.
I find reason to HATE her and feel she is a terrible person for the fact that she is willing to broadcast personal information about her husband's family to the world. His family that, until she showed up, was very close and loving. I hate many things about my inlaws. Do you think I would broadcast that to the world for money? How about if I was black? Would it be okay then?

This is spot on. You can hate your in laws and feel like they mistreated you, but at the end of the day, it shows poorly on her character that she is blasting them in public. And it makes them look good by not responding. They look like the bigger people in the room.

I don't know why this rift is being put solely on her shoulders. It's on Harry, too. I would assume if she knew it bothered him to have his family talked about in this way, she wouldn't do it. Obvious he is ok with it. Remember this is a joint interview.

Btw, does anyone else remember when he thought choosing a Nazi uniform costume would be a great idea at some costume party he and William went to?
Not to mention anything about all those nude photos of Harry swimming in mixed company in a Las Vegas hotel. I just don't think he has great judgment in general, or that he's the sharpest tool in the shed.

That’s why I think a lot of people think she is calling the shots

She married a rich white guy who is also famous and is known by the entire world. His own mother was harassed by the media and was tragically killed because of it. Why would anyone believe that Meghan is facing racism when she married a rich white guy whose white mother got it worse than Meghan ever did? Meghan knew what she was getting into, she had the choice to walk away and not deal with any of the drama that comes with a public life. She made her bed, now she is refusing to sleep in it and we have to somehow defend her? That doesnt even begin to make sense. Were Jews asked to defend Diana as well or is Meghan so privileged that she deserves better protection from Jews than we gave Diana?

And btw, she doesnt get along with her own family who is black so you cant blame anyone except for her for her actions.
