From the Daily Mirror article today.
Prince Harry's passionate words about 'fixing problems' on eve of bombshell book release
Prince Harry said tackling racism is "down to every single person that is on this planet" in a powerful new interview.
The duke spoke to Good Morning America from his LA home, where he has spent lockdown with wife Meghan Markle and son Archie, on the eve of the publication of a new biography about the family - Finding Freedom.
"This is down to every single person that is on the planet right now - we have to go to the root of the problem, to the source of the problem and actually fix it there.
"Why wouldn’t you want to be part of the solution? "And that to me is, if you can’t answer that honestly then I think you’re part of the problem rather than part of the solution."
"
We can't deny or ignore the fact that all of us have been educated to see the world differently," he said.
"However, once you start to realise that there is that bias there, then you need to acknowledge it, you need to do the work to become more aware ... so that you can help stand up for something that is so wrong and should not be acceptable in our society today."

I agree wholeheartedly that racism is wrong, but it isnt simple.
A lot of the motivation behind racism is based around the idea of fear of strangers or fear of people you dont know that well. Its incredibly idealistic to say that every new person you meet is going to be a 'good' person with your best interests at heart! If you are going to be suspicious of people you dont know that well, or who hold different views or beliefs to you....can you blame everyone for being cautious?
And there are other 'isms' at play, the power and effect of money and extreme capitalism, sexism, etc....
I do try hard not to be racist, and have black and asian friends, but find it hard to accept local JW or travelling families setting up on the side of local roads.
Maybe it would be better to be a bit more realistic and admit that issues like racism and bullying and exploitation will always sadly exist, and we need to all take steps to reduce it!
And Harry you may have been Eton educated to see the world differently, but I would suggest you havent got a clue about how someone educated at a bog standard city comprehensive, or the majority of the British population views racism!
Going by films and magazines etc, I would suggest that racism in the UK and racism in the USA is very different. If its different in 2 countries, why assume it is remotely the same across the world?
