Racial bias in UK media: Cynthia Erivo's exclusion from 'Wicked' coverage rekindles Meghan Markle debate


Major British media coverage is being blamed over Cynthia Erivo 's exclusion from the big forerunners ahead of film premiere 'Wicked' in 2024, and once again, the prevailing discussions the UK has been termed as ill-treatment Meghan Markle went through. One frustrated Twitter user said that although Erivo featured as the main character, her contribution was being overshadowed. Meghan and husband Prince Harry previously addressed the racism they faced from the UK media during their 2021 Oprah interview. Some commenters quoted that Meghan had actually "pre-warned" the public on racist tendencies within the UK media, and with this current treatment of Erivo, she was right to be worrying. Support for Erivo has picked up as fans call out the media on its discriminatory patterns.
