Have Prince Philips funereal on. Stunned a the complete lack of minority military members.
Guess it shows my ignorance of the Black and Brown population size in England. But expected to see some representation. Gosh in this day and age.

Ok, just saw one Black man as they were loading the coffin onto the truck.

 :thatsright:

White or British White in UK   87.9%
Black or British Black     3%

GB has a volunteer military... I wonder why more people of not white ancestry aren't joining up. BTW- the funniest thing to see is a Black Black Watch soldier in full kilt uniform on parade...

1. Uk is racist...the treatment of Megan was the rule not the exception. Imagine how ordinary

Black and Brown people are treated.

 :whatever:

You should see three in a hundred...

Must be miserable to live every waking moment thinking about the prism of race.  Someone once said you judge a person by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

I bet when African heads-of-state have their funerals, it’s all or predominantly black military members representing the population. What’s up with that?

and if there was a large number of brown people shown at the funneral then the DUmmy would complain about how the white royal family is subjugating them into degrading roles of subservience...

whoever said that sounds like a total racist and should be cancelled by jessie jackson, al sharptoon,  calypso louie, blm and the entire woke crowd in general.

 ::) Clearly the RN and RA need quotas to achieve the "diversity" they lack. ::)

The island should demand more diversity in those same African countries if they were to be consistent

Well, obviously the primitives don't listen to, and watch, drums-and-bagpipes music coming from there.

Of course not. If it's not rap or hip-hop, primitives don't listen to it.

I'm guessing that about one out of every twenty of these bagpiping dudes are of Caribbean or African derivation.

Now that the queen is a widow that means that she is free to remarry--maybe she'll pick a black man for her next husband and that'll make all the dummies happy.

Maybe she could find a nigerian prince. They are plentiful over there and it would keep the royal lineage consistent

  The person who said that is rolling over in his grave right now.  Lately, I feel he died in vain. :(

Somebody wasn't looking very closely - the guard included members of the Royal Gurkha Rifles, who are Nepalese (and you don't want to get on the wrong side of them).

But I suppose if you're trying to make everything about race, then you can find racism everywhere.

The latest statistics show that 11% of the Army (lower percentages in the Royal Navy and R.A.F.) are from ethnic minorities.

It's too bad we have to do the primitives' research for them, especially given that ostensibly they're smarter than we are.

About 3% of the population of the United Kingdom is "black."

Black British people are British citizens of either African descent or of Black African-Caribbean (sometimes called "Afro-Caribbean") background. The term Black British developed in the 1950s, referring to the Black British West Indian people from the former Caribbean British colonies in the West Indies (i.e., the New Commonwealth) now referred to as the Windrush Generation and people from Africa, who are residents of the United Kingdom and are British. Black people with connections to Liverpool are also placed under this classification.
