Controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate has joined the chorus of voices criticizing Meghan Markle for playing the race card.
In a recent documentary series, Prince Harry accused the press coverage of his wife as having racist undertones and argued that she should receive special treatment and be protected by the royal family.
However, Tate believes that Markle’s accusations are disrespectful to those who have genuinely suffered from racism.
Markle herself has spoken out about her experiences with racial prejudice.
She revealed that before coming to the UK, she did not feel like she was treated as a black woman.
However, upon arriving in the country, she noticed that people became more aware of her race due to the media’s focus on it.
Recounting a distressing incident, Markle recalled a time when she attended a concert with her mother at the Hollywood Bowl.
As they were leaving the parking lot, her mother honked the horn at a woman who was taking a long time to exit.
In response, the woman turned around and screamed a racial slur at Markle’s mother.
The shock of the incident left Markle’s mother silent for the rest of the drive home, and they never discussed it again.
This experience highlighted to Markle the stark difference between being a minority and being treated as one.
However, Andrew Tate vehemently disagrees with Markle’s claims, accusing her of using the race card to gain sympathy.
He argues that racism is not the reason why the majority of people do not like her.
Tate even goes as far as to say that he himself has not experienced any racism, despite being darker-skinned than Markle.
He believes that Markle is simply an unlikable person, and her attempts to attribute her negative public perception to racism are just excuses.
Tate further criticizes the use of buzzwords and ideas that cannot be challenged in modern society.
He argues that the concept of racism is one such idea that people can hide behind, without allowing for any direct contestation.
Tate boldly states that he does not believe that the public’s perception of Markle has anything to do with her skin color.
He points out that there are many liberals, particularly black liberals, who are standing up for her and using the race card argument.
However, Tate questions why someone would be allowed to use the race card when they are not genuinely suffering from racism.
He believes that this disrespects those who actually face genuine racism.
In an attempt to undermine Markle’s claims, Tate even goes as far as comparing her skin color to his own.
He asserts that Markle is whiter than him and even whiter than prominent figures such as the current UK Prime Minister and the Mayor of London.
Tate questions why no one is discussing this fact and suggests that Markle should cook him chicken to prove his point about skin color.
The debate surrounding Meghan Markle’s claims of racism continues to divide opinions.
While Prince Harry and others support her assertions, Andrew Tate remains unconvinced, arguing that her accusations are merely a ploy for sympathy.
As the discourse unfolds, it is clear that the issue of race and its impact on public perception is a complex and contentious one.
