@Yellowdog I felt that way when Obama was elected. I understand the historical significance, and it’s certainly worth mentioning and discussing, but it went so overboard for me. I never thought of him as a black president, for me he was the president, or a president.
Regarding the royal family, I think it’s a big step, bigger than Americans voting in a black president, and I’m not sure how the royals would have been had it been the first born son marrying someone black, but I have to say that I don’t think of Meghan as black anyway. I would never guess she had a black mother. She looks so much like her mom, her features, they are both very pretty, but with fair skin her features did not have me thinking black in heritage. Her character on Suits has a black father, and at first I thought that’s really stretching it, but then I found out she does have a black mother in real life. The actor on Suits playing her father is darker than her real mom.
