"During a recent podcast from Meghan Markle’s weekly series Archetypes, the
Duchess of Sussex briefly riffed with Mariah Carey about their shared
experiences of “colourism”.

Apparently, to some Markle watchers she was too black. To others, she was too
white. And for many, she was neither black nor white. According to Markle, the
interest in her mixed-race heritage only became weaponised against her after
she married a white prince."
