I have red dozens of academic books on UKs racism and have visited the sites of such atrocities from the East India Company engineering the Opium Wars of the 19th century to the British evisceration of the Malays with the importation of Indian and Chinese labour to studying how the Brits exacerbated Muslim/Hindu division by exploiting Indian Principalities. I could go on.
I even travelled to Ireland on the 100th anniversary of Easter Rebellion and walked the streets where it took place.
Serious discussions of serious issues are done with research, sourcing original source material and peer review examination. It does not involve paying a celebrity couple a hundred million dollars to share vacuous anecdotes about family interactions.
Bubble gum is not serious cuisine.
WWE wrestling is not a serious athletic endeavor
Paying a former royal a $ 100,000,000 to discuss his family is not serious a serious discussion about the sociology impact of race.
If Harry and Meghan had a serious interest in anything beyond their own personal interests they could have sat down with 60 minutes had their say and been challenged by informed and objective experts, but they didn't do that. They simply exchanged the royalty of the Windsor for the royalty of elite celebrity. A change of address but not a change in kind.
