Why?

That’s the women who described the balcony at the coronation as ‘terribly white’.

Why is ok for her to say that?

It’s more to do with the actress and her comments about the royal family being “terribly white” from what I understand. Not that I particularly care.

Because they are terribly white. The second they let a black woman in she gets verbally abused by them.

Hmm. 🤔
Not sure that was the context the comment was made. Correct me if I’m wrong though. Feel free to pist links to your sources too.

The same way it's ok for me to say the exact thing as a middle aged white man. The Royal family is terribly white. The first person of colour introduced saw Harry and Meghan hounded out by the press.

Dunno why people are angry at Boots because of this.

I'm angry at them because my monthly prescription keeps getting lost between the GP and Boots across the road.

I’m not going to go down this rabbit hole but that’s definitely not what happened.

Would African royal families be ‘terribly black’?

Whats the 'outrage' about?

I suppose they could be if the African country in question was racially diverse but kept the white population marginalised, perhaps drawing on tropes of white people as beastlike and intellectually inferior that had historically been used to underpin general support for the trade in and exploitation of white slaves.

It depends. The UK is incredibly diverse and there are millions of mixed families within it. Our Royal Family does not represent that

If there is an African country with as diverse population lead by an all black Royal Family then, yes, it would be terribly black

Brilliant advert.

The likes of Sat Nav and NPE will be infuriated which is great.

It also seems that the great British media is also a bit confused about what is actually offensive about this advert. If indeed its is offensive.

Good grief. I had to read the comments to know what the problem is

Good question which shows your lack of critical thinking ability, but I'm here to help you out. If Africans had colonised and had a global empire for 300 years, their societies would have become very multi cultural and multi racial as people from colonies move to Africa to find a better life.

By 2024,African society would have become so diverse that a completely black royal family would stick out like a sore thumb. Hope your pentium can process this.

I actually have a job which means I am preoccupied with working today, rather than arguing with randoms on the internet

I find the ad massively cringey, but it doesn't offend me.
