In a recent development, Meghan Markle’s racial background has once again become a topic of discussion, leading to heated debates on social media.
Users recently discovered an online profile from 2013 that listed her as Caucasian with some suggestions.
This revelation caused a stir, with many accusing Meghan of lying about her race.
The controversy began when Meghan Markle herself tweeted on December 10, 2022, claiming that she had identified herself as a Caucasian supermodel.
This tweet garnered significant attention, especially considering the recent circulation of a profile image of Meghan Markle.
It seems that this image has been circulating online for a few years, and people are now questioning Meghan’s claims of being black.
One social media user wrote, “Rachel, Meghan Markle always identified herself as being Caucasian.
She lists herself as Caucasian on all of her CVs.
The only time she ever refers to her color is when it suits her narrative, for example, in South Africa, she presented herself as a woman of color, never a black woman.”
This comment suggests that Meghan selectively uses her racial identity to further her own agenda.
Another user accused Meghan of aligning herself with the Black Lives Matter movement not out of genuine concern for black people, but as a means to launch herself into politics.
They claimed that Meghan only started showing interest in the movement recently and uses her racial identity as a shield whenever she faces criticism for her behavior.
Furthermore, there are claims that Meghan prefers to be seen as a white woman and takes offense to being called black.
Calling a mixed-race person black is a common practice in America due to the one-drop rule and the ongoing racial divide.
However, Meghan allegedly rejects this label and prefers to ignore her black heritage, instead focusing on her white ancestry.
In contrast, her husband, Prince Harry, openly refers to their children as mixed race, which may cause tension between them.
It seems that Meghan does not want her black heritage to be acknowledged, as it contradicts the image she wishes to project.
According to Tom Bauer, an author who has written about Meghan Markle, her emphasis on race began even before she married Prince Harry.
Bauer suggests that Meghan needed a PR angle to boost her career, and being mixed race or black provided her with something to talk about.
However, this focus on race may have backfired, as paranoia about racism has taken a toll on both Meghan and Harry’s mental health and reputations.
Critics argue that Meghan’s claims of facing racism towards her unborn children are unfounded and only serve to create unnecessary controversy.
They believe that it would have been best for Meghan to ignore the subject of racism altogether.
Now that she has two white children, her complaints about racism towards them are seen by some as baseless and ridiculous.
The ongoing debate surrounding Meghan Markle’s racial identity continues to divide opinions.
While some accuse her of manipulating her race for personal gain, others argue that she should be allowed to define her own identity.
As the discussions persist, it remains to be seen how this controversy will impact Meghan’s public image and her future endeavors.
