Good lord...now they will tell me Boudica is woman of color.

[dfwgator]

Well isn’t that special.

[a fool in paradise]

More attempts to marginalize the indigenous peoples of England.

[C19fan]

The hair pulling part is Britain allowed these people into the country. You gotta to hand to the Japanese who actually believe Japan is for Japanese.

>>Britannia was the Latin name given to the UK by the Romans after their invasion in 43 CE. The weapon-clad warrior woman became a personification of the British Isles and has fronted the country’s currency since 1672.

When they say “of color” they mean black. The blacks had nothing to do with 99% of British history, but why quibble I guess.

[ClearCase_guy]

They put Meghan Markle on a coin? How nice of them.

[C19fan]

On the bright side I can look at the Non-PC version of Britannia armed with a trident on my Victorian era pennies.

Yes, the UK needs to make sure the 3% blacks (including dark meds) of its population is represented properly (source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/270386/ethnicity-in-the-united-kingdom/)

Based on UK woke TV you would think it was 45%.

[Alas Babylon!]

Yeah but the lion still looks like a white guy.

[freedumb2003]

I had to look twice to make sure it was not Franklin Mint and it was not a “tribute” coin.

(PS: Those Limited Edition Star Trek plates lovingly stored in my attic are the next Bitcoin! My retirement is SET!)

[Natty Bumppo@frontier.net]

Um, it looks like she is either gold or silver like every other Britannia.

But then in coins, as in life, it’s always about the content of the character.

[silverleaf]

I guess there’s hope for Duchess Meghan Markle to get her face on a note

Here’s one Brit’s opinion of this nonsense.

[Altura Ct.]

Such a lie.

The truth still matters.

[Red Badger]

I see she’s a woman of ‘color’.............. GOLD!..................

[blam]

I’ve already quit watching TV because all they show are ‘people of color’ and queers.

[Organic Panic]

Boudica was a trans woman of color from Compton.
