I recently read an article by human rights activist Peter Tatchell. He states that our constitutional system is racist because no non-white person will ever become the head of state (or in his words “no black or Asian person” because Hispanic, Arabic and Native American people* don’t exist, do they Peter?)
This is, of course, ridiculous because the monarchy has nothing to do with race; any member of the royal family can marry whomever they like, even queens.
“One day, in generations and centuries to come, descendants of the Windsors might marry a non-white person and their first-born could become head of state. Might, could. No guarantee at all. In any case, why should we have to wait generations?”
Well, is it really that bad, Peter? Are non-white people extra special? You seem to think that race is important, that a person’s ethnicity is as important as their intelligence or integrity.
I’d like to add that I’m not a royalist, but I’m very glad that the queen has the real power and not Brown. If Brown makes us use ID cards, hopefully her majesty will step in.
Number 00000001, you are to be imprisoned at once!
I'll make him eat Peter Tachell too...
*I am aware that there are other races and mixes thereof, so don’t call me racist.
