I am not trying to minimise racism though damarka - I’m just answering the question I was asked. Do I think people would be making jokes if it was Prince William’s baby? And yes, I absolutely do. If William had a baby with tightly curled red hair, then all sorts of jokes would be being made. Prince Harry has faced jokes and mockery about his red hair his whole life - his army mates called him the ginger bullet magnet, for example. There’s a peculiarly British disdain for red hair.
Which is why I don’t think it’s so easy to look at what Camilla said and immediately cry racism. I’m well aware of issues and attitudes towards black hair. And if Camilla had just said “your baby might have an afro!” we’d be having a different conversation. Because that doesn’t sound like a joke - and why is an afro inherently funny? But a ginger afro now - well, that’s a whole different thing. Hilarious! You’d look like Mick Hucknall or Chris Evans! What parent would want that? 🙄
