Sure, in the Americas. I have no care what British people do. I understand most of them like royalty even though I think it seems ridiculous to pay a family just because an ancestor invaded over a thousand years ago.

It was a topic of conversation at our dinner table a few times. What do you think our baby is going to look like with Mexican and Ashkenazi Eastern European lineage?
It's a natural question mixed families ask during pregnancy.
But, my opinion of both of them changed after the interview.
I wish them the best in America.
Everyone knows those Royals are nasty and a bit out of touch within their "institution ".
To dismiss someone's cry for help in the light of suicide is inhumane.
Agree...Harry didn't want his wife to suffer and die way too early like his mother as he saw the writing on the wall ...the Royal family is out of touch. Respect them for taking action and for that interview which they didn't have to do...wish them the best here in America...healthy and happy with their growing family.

If someone experiences racism, is it preferable for them to ignore it and proceed with their day or should the racism be addressed right then and there?

Does racism affect the mental health of the people who are the recipient of the racism?

An initial hypothesis is that racism can have a detrimental effect on the recipient of the racism.

Extremely important to understand the psychological motivation and end game of racist individuals and institutions to better understand the best response to racist acts, racist speech, etc.

If the recipient of racism does not understand these nuances, then the consequences can indeed be detrimental to one's health - shortening one's life span, weakening the immune system, etc.

Yes, a lot of colorism exists as the standard of acceptance for many throughout the world is based on European features.

Many many cultures dread that the baby will be "too dark!"

Exactly. Didn't give a twact about the Princess Diana infatuation, don't care about this. No surprise the Elitist were worried that a Royal grandson would have an Afro. They our cut from the same cloth as Canada's PM Captain Black Face

I did not realize how pervasive this was among Hispanics and Asians (East and West Asians).

Did hear about this about certain segments of the Black race.

Attempting to understand when people receive racist treatment, they are called "over-sensitive" if they respond.

What is recommended in response to racist actions and/or speech to not be considered "over-sensitive?"
