Iwould like her if she talked about racism more from the perspective of what other black women have to face. SHe is so pale skinned and so beautiful with so much of her own American privilege that her beauty privilege and circle of white successful friends makes it hard to believe that she has suffered from a lot of racism.
I agree. Meghan is only half black for starters, and if you weren't aware of who her mother is yours probably think Meghan was white if you met her.
Implying that she isn't black enough and questioning her blackness based on the tone of her skin is racist itself especially when that's used to try and minimise her experiences as a biracial woman and to cast doubt on the racism she says she has experienced.
Well, I think leaping to label this as racist is missing a lot of context.
Do you think that that Megan has suffered more rejections, more put downs, more exclusions, more sly digs, more sexist remarks, more pay inequalities, more pay cuts, more closed doors, experienced being passed over more often for promotion, been ignored more, left off guest lists more etc than a very ordinary looking white woman?
I really doubt that myself.
Serious question, why does she attribute every 'no' as racist?
I think some people ignore the way the seas literally part for beauty.
I wonder if she'd swap Freaky Friday style with a very ordinary white woman (in terms of education, looks, position, income). Probably not and no reason why she should. But that same time the insistence that her experiences are due to racism dismiss the experiences of very ordinary white woman have experienced all of the above. And just have to hang it all on the never ever dealt with ''sexism''.
Calling somebody out publicly for sexism doesn't seem to have any impact.
