Meghan Markle news: Meg reveals she is ‘mostly white/43% Nigerian’ as she angrily slams ‘angry black women’ stereotype

MEGHAN Markle has revealed she is “43% Nigerian” as she tackled stereotypes facing black women in her latest podcast. During the latest episode of Spotify podcast Archetypes, Meghan Markle was joined by comedians Issa Rae and Ziwe in discussing stereotypes faced by black women on a daily basis in the entertainment industry. Meghan said: “I remember when I was auditioning, the idea of even black roles, and I remember those casting sheets where the description of the character – she always had to have an edge or an attitude.” She continued: “This idea that a black woman must be angry when we all know sometimes things make you feel angry or sad or hurt or upset and that’s not a gender or racially specific feeling. Yet this trope of the angry black woman, it persists, and… it was being reinforced constantly in ways we hadn’t even realised.” During the podcast, the Duchess revealed to Ziwe that she is “43 per cent Nigerian” which she found out after taking a genealogy test.
