I understand being uncompelled by Meghan Markle's experiences with royals

139. It's clearly a widespread problem.

I would've assumed that the royal family, with their privileges and educational opportunities, wouldn't be that way. Yet they are.

It was clear to me years ago that it went far beyond USA borders, though.

Just one example from years ago:

I worked with a married couple from India and mentioned to them, matter-of-factly, that all humans on the planet have African origins. They were both from wealthier and better-educated families than most over there, and their son was a medical doctor in this country. Anyway, they got very upset at me for even suggesting that they ever had any ancestors from Africa. I then clarified it, stating that I'm referring to very distant ancestry in some cases. They still argued against the idea, proclaiming it was a complete impossibility for THEIR ancestors, no matter how long ago in the past. Long story short, they obviously associated Africa with all kinds of negative stereotypes and they refused to be even remotely related to it.
