I agree with this a lot. He doesn’t want to name his own actions as racist so he hems and haws and thinks unconscious bias allows him to seem like he is speaking out when really he is dodging accountability for himself and his family.

Good people can and ARE racist. Harry, and so many white people, believe that to own their culpability in racism is to somehow label themselves as eternally bad people. But that isn’t how any of this works. Good people hold bias, stereotypes, assumptions and act on those. You don’t need to be some deformed monster walking around in a Klan robe to believe or do or say something racist.

But as Harry says, it’s the persistence in holding these bias that makes the difference. But that doesn’t excuse the initial racism. And he needs to own that. And the infuriating thing is that I feel like his understanding of all of this was much more advanced last year than what he has articulated in these interviews. Hell, even what he said in the docuseries was more thoughtful.

By his own WRONG definition, however, his family is racist. He says he has pointed out the “bias” they hold or are imbibing from the media and they don’t listen. And he points to what happened with Lady Susan and also the lack of a diversity czar as ways his family hasn’t learned…but somehow that doesn’t equal that maybe they are just racist? He even said the stereotypes they held about Meghan, including her race, causes issues. Like it’s like he is saying all the things but can’t say the R word.

And I’m sorry but Meghan was VERY clear in the Oprah interview about how she perceived these concerns and conversations. I remember thinking at the time Harry wasn’t pleased Meghan shared that and it made me uncomfortable because I hope he didn’t gaslight her about it. But it’s clear Harry knew that the comment(s) were wrong because he said he was taken aback. So don’t back down now when the kitchen is hot.

King Chucky is likely to foot the bill for Andrew's security while Harry is still fighting for the right to pay for his own. Also, nonce Andrew is going to be attending the family Christmas lunch… how quaint.
