This tweet is the closest thing to an explanation on what Meghan is supposed to be dressed as. Essentially, Meghan as Josephine Baker in her banana costume. Baker was a black American who moved to France and later became a civil rights activist. So this cartoon is lampooning Markle's social activism. All of this makes sense if you were a French person and had the knowledge of that context. But of course, ignorant and stupid American leftists see bananas = monkeys = black person and freak out.
That’s what i don’t get as well. If you have to tell people that you’re black because they can’t tell from looking does that really count? I mean how is that any different from a someone claiming to be a native Indian because they are 1:128th cherokee? It’s clear Megan is pulling the race card when it suits her to advance her own career.
