I think you’ll find it’s the Guardianistas et al who are the ones wanting to pass judgement as evidenced by endless op-eds and references to the baby’s ‘biracial’ background.

Re: Go for it Harry marry Meghan.
They probably figured Archie would be a good name since he's got a fair chance of being a ginger.

I'm not a great follower of matters royal but the stuff in the guardian seems to be about the name except for some reference to Danny Baker's tweet. |

Danny Baker is a complete twat. How could he not know that the photo he tweeted wouldn't cause offence. Good riddance to him.
Ive just seen that....couldn't believe it!! Even if it was a "mistake" and wasn't meant to be racial! Its not even a funny picture in the first place! The guy is prize imbecile. Never liked him....as you say good riddance!! |

Its impossible to imagine a scenario where that was not racist. Apparently he also claims that he was unaware that Meghan was mixed race, which is equally incredible.
Really? well for someone who works in media to even make that statement is just embarassing. |

“I chose the wrong photo to illustrate a joke. Disastrously so. “In attempting to lampoon privilege and the news cycle I went to a file of goofy pictures and saw the chimp dressed as a Lord and thought, ‘That’s the one!’ “Had I kept searching I might have chosen General Tom Thumb or even a baby in a crown. But I didn’t. God knows I wish had.†The statement added: “Minutes later I was alerted by followers that this royal baby was of course mixed race and waves of panic and revulsion washed over me. “F**k, what had I done? I needed no lessons on the centuries slurs equating simians and people of colour. Racism at it’s basest. “I am aware black people do not need a white man to tell them this. Deleting it immediately and apologising for the awful gaffe I even foolishly tried to make light of it. (My situation that is, not the racism involved.) Too late and here I am. |
Re: Go for it Harry marry Meghan.
I read somewhere weeks and weeks ago that someone posted an Instagram photo of prince George which reveled that his nickname within the Royal Family was .......... Archie!!!
Wouldn't you think Harry and Meghan would know that?? Plus, the despised MailOnLine last night had a piece that a "friend" of Meghan's had revealed that she probably got the name from a much-loved cat that she had when she was young and fed "frozen grapes", it was called Archie :ohmy: |
