to think the shaman is being to subjected to vile abuse by the dailymail because he doesn't fit with what is supposedly expected of a european royalty. examples of comments include 'bisexual' 'con artist' ' 'blacker than black' 'this is the end of monarchy' 'glad she is the 4th in line' aibu to feel dailymail doesnt do enough to edit distasteful and racism on their comments board?

sorry for the incoherent rumble and not so perfect grammer

YABVU reading anything on the Mail online. It is nasty, but if no-one read it, it would close down.

The strangest thing is that these things aren't being said in Norway.

I haven't read the comments (as I wish to avoid going anywhere near Mail online) but how do you know the people posting comments aren't in/from Norway?

Stop clicking on it - I have. If we all do it it will wither and die.

Well, possibly some of the people are from Norway, but the Daily Mail is a British newspaper produced in English for a British audience. Norwegians have their own newspapers written in Norwegian aimed at a Norwegian audience. So while I cannot say for certain, I think it is reasonable to assume that most of the people reading and commenting on the Mail are not Norwegian in background.
