To ask why there's so much hate for Meghan?

Curious as to why there seems to be so much negativity towards her? I genuinely know nothing about her.

Is it just jealousy?

The hate is because she's not white. It really is as simple as that. I've seen some horrible stuff about her on here, slagging her off because she's an actress, divorced, 36 whatever. Unconscious bias people. You don't like her because she's not white. Own it.

@applesandpears56

She’s definitely slimmer and prettier than me but more popular?! Her family and half the country seem to hate her.

Utter crap. You just WANT half the country to hate her, but very few people do; only a few sad pathetic losers on certain message forums!

Amal clooney is slimmer and prettier than me and I don’t think she’s fake. Amal is a great role model for women.

Also utter crap. Can't stand fake-ass Amal. She hates the British and thinks we should give our museum pieces up that we have worked to hard to get (and look after) when it has FUCK ALL to do with her.

SOOOOO much jealousy for Meghan on here. You know Harry would not want YOU even if he had not met MEGHAN right........ ????? Wink

Meghan is beautiful, talented, confident, and sassy, and that bugs the FUCK out of some people. She is amazing, and Harry adores her. Get over it FFS, coz you sound fucking pathetic.

And so WHAT if she had a nose job? Many many celebrities have them if they are not happy with their nose. Big fucking deal! Hmm

@iborgia

She is Canadian

No she isn't. She is American!!!

@queenoflece

I feel is insincere. The doe eyes the clutching Harry's hand

Yeah SOOOOOOO insincere, holding Harry's hand and looking in his eyes lovingly. What a fucking MONSTER she is.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Hmm

Could you people SOUND any more bitter, catty, and jealous?! Hmm

It's not called empathy Jellied, it's called projection and it's usually done by people whose empathy is restricted to people who look and talk and act like them.

lborgia · 19/05/2018 23:33

Er, I think your being selective there Snow - wrote defending her, and I said she was Canadian because I thought that was what Huw Edwards said in his commentary... so to say I sound bitter catty and jealous sounds a little... surprising.

snowagain · 19/05/2018 23:34

Oh and if anyone fancies a laugh, go and look at the Meghan hate blogs. They are still insisting that the wedding was fake, and that the RF staged it as part of a secret long-game plan to outmaneuver Meghan who they claim is forcing and blackmailing Harry into going along with it. They're also openly discussing what forums and media outlets to mass-spam in order to spread the "truth" about Meghan being an evil whore.

OMG too funny. These people are batshit!

snowagain · 19/05/2018 23:37

I never said YOU sounded catty bitter and jealous @iborgia, I was just saying she is American not Canadian.

StickThatInYourPipe · 19/05/2018 23:38

Hmm well I like her. We fell out a bit (in my head) when she decided to leave suits because I loved her in that, but we have made up again. I think she looked amazing today. Haven't seen any hate today at all really

This makes no sense. It’s just odd.

StickThatInYourPipe · 19/05/2018 23:43

Obviously I wrote the above before RTFT Blush

You know you sound even madder than the fruit loops you’re attacking?

I’m not sure Meghan needs your kind of, erm, “support”.

AskAuntLydia · 19/05/2018 23:56

LOLOL about the Elgin Marbles.

And now Amal's fake too.

So also slimmer, prettier and more popular, no?

I think I'm pretty well established as a Meghan defender myself. I do try to avoid saying that certain posts on threads are racist, but I grew up in the American South, and I do know coded language when I see it. And there has been quite a bit of it on Mumsnet regarding Meghan. There has also been reporting and discussion in the US media about racism towards her in the UK and I think that has made me more sensitive to the possibility of it on Mumsnet. Of course the US is not exempt either; there is racism against her here as well.

But the main reason I persist in defending her is the level of sexism and downright misogyny that is expressed against her by some posters on Mumsnet. It is much more overt and, I think, more widespread and it is truly appalling.

@battleax

No I fucking don't.

Gotta try harder than that HUN! Hmm

AGREE 100%.

A lot of jealous bints on mumsnet. Meghan is more successful and pretty than you........ BOO FUCKING BASTARD HOO!!!!!!!!!!

Battleax · 20/05/2018 00:13

No I fucking don't.

Gotta try harder than that HUN! hmm

😂😂😂

We can’t all be up to your standards 😁

Go on then. Explain to us about (British) Amal hating the British and how “we” “worked” for the Elgin marbles and similar. Why is it “fuck all to do with her” when she’s hired as a solicitor to advise in exactly that matter?

ThreeJoeys · 20/05/2018 00:21

Because deep down they are women who are unhappy and are jealous with her life. She's confident, wealthy in her own rights, and she got herself a British prince. Personally I think anyone is insane to be married into the RF.

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 20/05/2018 11:15

Agree, ThreeJoeys, there are some very inadequate women out there if the best they can do is pound a keyboard relentlessly, about a woman they don't know.

I can almost hear gnashing teeth. Meghan has lovely teeth too...

BertrandRussell · 20/05/2018 11:17

It's not jealousy. It's racism.

JelliedFeels · 20/05/2018 11:26

It's not jealousy. It's racism

How unimaginative and dull. You know it’s possible to dislike people and it not be related to the colour of their skin?

This word is being banded about far too much. Those plucking it from the air are the ones focusing on the colour of her skin as opposed to the very many reason posters have given as to why they haven’t warmed to her - which they’re entitled not to do, even without reason. Sometimes people don’t like people.

The ones calling ‘racism’ every 5 minutes are the only ones here focusing on colour and it is downright offensive.

SoupDragon · 20/05/2018 11:29

thinks we should give our museum pieces up that we have worked to hard to get (and look after)

I think you mean “stole”

AskAuntLydia · 20/05/2018 11:29

Bullshit.

Some of the comments on the threads here, are downright racist, particularly those in relation to the Rev Curry's address.

SoupDragon · 20/05/2018 11:31

I don’t think it’s racism. Kate got (gets?) a lot of hate and she is white.

I think her race (both in terms of skin colour and being American) are easy targets along with her being divorced. Racism isn’t the root of it though.

SoupDragon · 20/05/2018 11:33

I think the comments about Rev Curry would have been the same had he been white TBH. It was the difference in style that has people frothing.
