KLAVAN: CNN Asks ‘How Black Will Royal Baby Be?’ No, Really.

Andrew Klavan

Prince Harry of England and his mixed-race American wife have had a baby and the question the Los Angeles Times is asking is, “Will Meghan Markle and Prince Harry raise their baby to be black?”

Now you’re probably thinking: “Oh, Andrew Klavan, you’re such a funny, satirical sort of guy, you always make me laugh out loud, and you’re so good-looking too.” And normally, I would agree with you. But no, this time, it isn’t just me trying to make American journalists sound so race-obsessed they’re like some left-over Nazi lunatic raving in his padded cell about the bloodline of a baby who is seventh in line to a throne with no power in a country the size of Oregon. This is a real headline on an op-ed written by Carla Hall, who is actually on the L.A. Times editorial board.
