Buckingham Palace banned ethnic minorities from office roles, papers reveal

I have no idea what that comparison is supposed to mean.

I said this: "You know full well that despite the utterly token ‘apologies’ for colonialism and utterly exceptional instances of letting non-whites into the royal family, that the royal family is a deeply racist institution that yes, has never even remotely come to terms with that fact."

And you said this "Eh, well Britain is a large part of why the open slave trade went away and a British monarch was central to that happening."

I literally argued that the British monarch has nothing in their history to actually be proud of and that they have not reconciled their own history. You replied by saying that the British monarch helped abolish slavery.

Help me understand, what point are you making if you are not saying that the British crown deserves applause for helping to end slavery? (Even if the British crown being responsible for ending slavery is a very shaky claim at best).

As for the example about William the Conquerer, gonna need some clarification there...
