If I ask if the baby is likely to be a girl, is that sexist? If I ask will the baby be tall like the father, or ginger like the mother or have my bloody silly sticking-out ears, is that racist? In my experience , mixed families over here, on both sides, spend a great deal of time speculating about what shade the baby will be, and are not in the least racist, especially if they do so before the couple are even married. It's important not to import American obsessions into other countries, where to run down your own family in public is about as sickening as you can get. Technically, I suppose, the bloke who married the pretend-'black' person Meghan is not a member of the royal family anyway, genetically, but he was brought up so, and should therefore now be totally forgotten for sheer shame by all decent people.
