  1. In the bad old days, when there was open and legalized discrimination against black people in the States, Markle would've done a PFW (passing for white) and gotten away with it quite easily. The States have had many generations of racial intermingling, with the result that many black folk in our country are very light-skinned, some as light as Markle. President Obama and Vice-President Harris are both biracial, although their skin and features are "black enough" for them to credibly claim that they're treated as black people. Markle isn't in that category. I've noticed that in the run-up to the premiere of the Netflix documentary, Markle has been using makeup and perhaps sunbathing to make her skin appear as dark as possible, and even then, she appears very light-skinned. It appears that Markle didn't fit in with the royal family because of her personality, but needed something external to blame, so she played the race card. I've taught and worked with many biracial people in the States, and it's ordinarily quite easy to tell who has a mixed heritage--but even with that experience I, like Mr. Webb, didn't realize Markle was biracial until I saw her mother.
