DEI and diversity have gotten a bad rap of late. Some of us who should know better saw it as behavior that is out of the blue. All of a sudden, programs and policies that had been in place for years or decades with the goal of muting or reversing some of the damage caused by our nation's history of racism and misogyny were being described as prejudicial to white guys rather than corrective for everyone who isn't a white guy.
It wasn't out of the blue. It was the open admission of the belief of white guys in their superiority. Not every white guy but yes, every one of them that complained or wanted to complain.
The proof of the truth in this post is Andrew Mountbattan Windsor. You see, Andrew was a close associate of Jeffery Epstein. He was a frequent visitor to the island and apparently, a frequent user of the children Epstein kept around for him and his friends to use. The punishment Andrew is receiving for his participation in the rape and abuse of children is that from now on, he will have to live like most folk in the Western culture live. He is no longer Prince Andrew.
(from Perplexity.ai)
"Andrew can no longer use the title “Prince” and is officially known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
He forfeited the titles:
Duke of York
Earl of Inverness
Baron Killyleagh.
All rights to the style “His Royal Highness” were removed.
Ceremonial honors such as the Order of the Garter and the Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order have also been rescinded.
His name was erased from the official Roll of the Peerage and other royal lists.
Other Consequences
Andrew was served notice to vacate his home, Royal Lodge at Windsor, and will be relocated to another, less prestigious royal property.
The palace emphasized this was done in sympathy with victims and survivors of abuse, regardless of Andrew’s continued denial of the allegations against him.
Andrew Windsor, as of October 31, 2025, holds none of his previous royal titles or honors, has lost the right to his former ceremonial styles, and has been removed from official peerage listings and his royal residence."
You know who else can't use royal titles?? MOST OF US!!! His punishment is that he will have to live only somewhat more privileged than your average first world citizen. That's it. AFAIK there are no plans to have him drawn and quartered. Nor is there any indication that prison might be in his future. He isn't to the best of my knowledge, restricted from driving or attending concerts or dining at restaurants or adopting a dog.
It would appear that the USA is not unique in our white guys believing in their own superiority. The more powerful white guy in Great Britain decided that the proper punishment for raping and abusing children was the less powerful white guy would have to restricted to level of living that is more comfortable than most but, less comfortable than some minorities and women experience.
Oh the horror!!!!!
