That's what Medium is for. Disagreeing with people and doing so with intelligent discussion. If you read much of my work, you'll see I'm not a fan of social justice because I don't think it's particularly useful as a way of enacting change.

I don't think it's racist one way or another to have an opinion on the matter of monarchy. I do think genetic heritability as a modus operandi for choice doesn't equate with fairness in the modern world. That would be true for white monarchs in China, ginger haired black folks in South America or even those who could roll their tongue in Argentina. Genetic heritability is not the same as democratic fairness and the skin colour issue is only one facet of that.

We are allowed to disagree on such matters - that's always allowed, and certainly in my corner of the Medium world, actively encouraged. There will be many who agree with you - but there are also many social justice warriors who fly the flag for equality and fairness and then show up for a royal wedding dressed like a dickhead - and haven't considered there might be any cognitive dissonance between the two positions.
