Fox News Guest Argues Crown Can't Be Racist Since Places They Colonized Have Black And Asian People

Fox News Guest Argues Crown Can't Be Racist Since Places They Colonized Have Black And Asian People

A guest on Fox News said the Crown could not be racist because the British Commonwealth includes lands that have Black and Asian people living on them.

Richard Mineards—who is a columnist for California's Montecito Journal—was asked about his take on Buckingham Palace's racism scandal following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey on CBS over the weekend.


Mineards responded on Thursday's program:

"I have to stay straight away, I don't think the royal family is racist."
"You've got to remember that for nearly half a century, the queen has been the head of the Commonwealth, which is a number of lands around the world that were from the colonial days, and the majority of the people who live in those lands are Black or Asian."

You can watch the clip of the segment, below.

Mineards added:

"So, the queen is far from being a racist, and I don't think the royal family as a whole is racist, as William said this morning in London."

The Duke of Cambridge—in his first public appearance since the interview of his brother and sister-in-law—maintained the royal family was "very much not a racist family." He added he planned to speak to Harry soon.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex claimed in the interview there was concern from within the Royal Family about how "dark" the skin color of Markle's unborn baby would be while she was pregnant.

Mineards was slammed for his comment on Fox News and social media users questioned his selective knowledge of the Commonwealth's history of colonialism, violence against Indigenous people and slavery.






Twitter was astounded by the ignorance of Mineards' remark.





Mineards' comment was preceded by that of former Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage, who on Wednesday told conservative news and opinion network, Newsmax:

"The queen and the royal family have spent the last 70 years touring around the Commonwealth. The vast majority of those people are Black and Asian."
"I would put it to you that nobody in the world, in history, has done more for people of color than the British royal family."


Prince Harry told Oprah at one point in the interview how disappointed he was with the royals for staying silent when lawmakers pointed out "colonial undertones" in the British media's negative coverage of Markle.

"For us, for this union and the specifics around her race, there was an opportunity—many opportunities—for my family to show some public support," he said.

"One of the most telling parts and the saddest parts, I guess, was over 70 female members of Parliament, both Conservative and Labour, came out and called out the colonial undertones of articles and headlines written about Meghan."
"Yet no one from my family ever said anything. That hurts."

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
