I agree, the tabloids, along with some commentators like Piers Morgan are racists, typical sub-conscious racists as are many white British, who try to claim that they like/love all peoples but should be allowed to comment about those they deem uppity.
I know many whites who would say similar, they just don't 'see' it.
As for the Royals, their time has come to disappear into ancient memories, but a hefty proportion of the public (65%) still believe in their so-called benefits to us all. Until the wider public stop falling for the sycophancy of the tabloids they'll continue touching forelocks and doffing caps, bending their knees while that establishment treads all over us as usual.
