It is a little-know "fact" that a certain Sith lord kept on committing vandalism even after being blocked by creating a sockpuppet: User:Darth Evader. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:00, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We admins are "the dark side". Mjroots (talk) 18:03, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Racism against the Duchess of Sussex

Has there been racism against the marriage of Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex due to Meghan being half-black on her mother's side? 86.130.217.84 (talk) 18:30, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A quote from Oprah with Meghan and Harry: "Moreover, Meghan critiqued the British monarchy as an institution, while they both said one or more comments had been made privately to Harry by an unidentified individual within the royal family in relation to the skin color of their then-unborn son, Prince Archie." --Lambiam 20:58, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consider also the fate of BBC Radio presenter Danny Baker, whose career was terminated after a rascist tweet about the Sussex's newborn son: Danny Baker fired by BBC over royal baby chimp tweet. Alansplodge (talk) 15:29, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Claims of racism by M&H against the RF have been widely dismissed by those outside M&H's circle. Mjroots (talk) 18:02, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
