- Meghan Markle says she fears being stereotyped as an “angry black woman”.
- The Duchess of Sussex was a guest on Issa Rae’s podcast. She shared that she was “shocked” by the book “Algorithms of Oppression”.
- Rae: You’re allowed to set a boundary and be clear. It does not make you demanding.
Meghan Markle claims she is frightened to express what she wants for fear of being stereotyped as a “angry black woman.”
“I’m particular,” the Duchess of Sussex, who is biracial, told her “Archetypes” podcast guest Issa Rae in Tuesday’s episode. “I think a high tide raises all ships. We’re all going to succeed, so let’s make sure it’s really great ’cause it’s a shared success for everybody.”
However, Markle stated that she is often afraid to share her mind for fear of how others may react.
“I will find myself cowering and tiptoeing into a room,” she said, adding that she will sometimes say a sentence where “the intonation goes up like a question.”
“You’re like, ‘Oh my God, stop. Stop whispering and tiptoeing around it. Just say what it is you need. You’re allowed to set a boundary. You’re allowed to be clear. It does not make you demanding. It does not make you difficult. It makes you clear.’”
Markle, 41, questioned Rae, 37, whether she believes she’s “allowed to be furious” in the episode titled “Upending the ‘Angry Black Woman’ Myth.”
The “Insecure” star responded, “Absolutely not.”
Markle also shared that she was “shocked” after reading the book “Algorithms of Oppression,” which explores how search engines reinforce racism.
