This is part of a massive hit piece on Megan. But this makes Harry’s friends, not Megan, look like insufferable arseholes. ‘Harry must be nuts’ — what his old Etonian friends made of Meghan

Unlike many news outlets, @BBCWorld chose a black and white photo to illustrate this. Yet the institution was closed in only in 1978. Others were operational till 1996. Choice of pic nudges us to think of these events as in far distant past. It’s a trick to minimise our horror.

Constant amnesia is central to imperial white supremacy and operates in a range of ways. A key tactic is to render what is known and even familiar as mysterious which in turn allows for a ‘discovery’ narrative that positions the narrator in great White imperial terms. 1/2

Reminded yet again that much of war is a contest of stories: who gets to tell theirs, disseminate theirs, and how those build empathy and sympathy. Stories also dehumanise which is not only required for killing but also ensuring only some victims matter and others are ignored

And every WOC who has experienced it knows it, learns to pretend that we can’t and didn’t see it. We have an expression or manner to overlook it (because any response is taken as rationalisation for inflicting violence on us). But it hurts and humiliates and harms each time.
