    If sexism, sectarianism, incest, being out dated, out of touch, anti-democratic and scrounging off others (especially poor people) is wrong... then why can so many people turn a blind eye to all these "wrongs" when it comes to the British royal family?

    I could possibly also include racism but although individuals in the British royal family seem to have racist tendencies I'm not sure there's proof that there's racism in the institution... all the other things listed above there is proof.

    So how can folk support such an institution?
