It’s hard for the family to accept a black person in the family - Meghan is not actually black; she's biracial (thanks to her white father).
Please, please, please can we stop referring to mixed-race people as 'black'.
It is intellectually dishonest to call a half-white person 'black'.
Meghan Markle, Colin Caepernick, Jordan Peel, Barack Obama and Halle Berry are all biracial (mixed-race), not black.
You're welcome. :)
