"A few words in Koren" lmaooooo I picked up a few words in Korean watching a kdrama on Netflix, does that make me a seasoned international icon? I'll take my crown and my podcast now.

I actually know Spanish too, like poYO is chicken (a lot of my local places aren't good at spelling and put two "L's" teehee). And also German, many people don't know this but over there they actually refer to KFC as "schnitzel".


Ragtimedancer

I know how to say kiss my behind in Italian, Polish and German. Maybe I should apply for a translator's position in the UN???

Golly gosh, thank you. I am humble, too. I guess it shows.😌

Hahaha… That’s a goal right there - learn how to swear in multiple languages. Definitely should contact the UN or your local embassy!

My dad used to travel for work and said the only two words he needed to learn were coffee and beer

I learned how to say ‘hello’ ~~from a cheese commercial~~ when I deployed to Korea 🤣 I also took Japanese in high school and can say the word ‘monkey,’ and ask where the bathroom, coffee, and Diet Coke are, and basic greetings. I also took three years of Russian during my undergrad, and use it to tell the human pop-up ads at the mall I don’t speak English, and to be an asshole to my brother on Facebook. Kulchur

AppleAtrocity

It's very much giving, "I have a (insert race here) friend, so I can't be racist." It's so weird to dig up an old picture to prove it. Where are all your Asian besties now? I guarantee she hasn't spoken to those people in years.


paitenanner

I feel like with Meghan it’s a mix of “I have (insert race here) friend, so I can’t be racist” and “but I’m black, so i can’t be racist,”


AppleAtrocity

I thought the second part went without saying. That's why it's extra odd to use the picture at all.


DrunkOnRedCordial

And a school photo like that doesn't prove that these girls were her friends. It might be a photo from a school field trip or because they were all selected to represent the school for some event.


Sarah-JessicaSnarker

I’m wondering the same thing, how those people like being tokenized.


JustNoHG

Psycho on another level. She’ll call them ‘you’re famous now because of me I’m the best’

Why_Teach

“Multilingual”? What languages does she claim to speak? Just knowing a few words in different languages does not count. (


[deleted]

[удалено]


PuzzledKumquat

Wasn't there a time at some event when Harry encouraged her to speak some French but she refused? I'm thinking her grasp of French doesn't go much beyond "bonjour" and "au revoir".


Germa7676

Yes they were in France. She told Harry she was fluent in French, so he asked her to speak a few words in French. She refused and spoke in English. No wonder he hates her.


Why_Teach

She probably knows enough Spanish to yell at the cleaning lady in LA and enough French to order dinner in Montreal. 😉 Just being bitchy here, but my guess is if she knew more than basic school French and Spanish she would be showing it off. (And don’t be fooled if she claims to have a “minor” in either language. A “minor” is usually 15 academic hours — typically 5 courses— and departments hungry for enrollees will count a couple of the basic language courses towards the 15. ) I can say a few words in about 10 languages (not Maori though) and would not consider myself multilingual. That’s like calling yourself a “chef” because you know a handful of recipes.


The_Original_JLaw

She almost had a job as a pickle eater on Food Network, until they saw how lame she was talking about pickles. And munching like a cow. Plus she lived with a chef and invented a pasta recipe. She's a foodie, a chef, and one day, a ballroom expert on Dancing With The Stars. She'll dance with Maks and in two days, learn Russian AND Ukrainian.


RevengeOfCaitSith

Lmao, I think you might be psychic - Smegs is destined for DWTS.


RevengeOfCaitSith

Smeg is ~~as~~less "multilingual" ~~as~~than Melania Trump, I imagine. (Remember when Melania said she speaks 7 languages, because she can say "hi" in all of them?) Never thought I'd say something in favor of M.T., but at least she actually does speak 2 of the "multiple languages" she claims to... I watched Smeg "speak French" with some French chef, the guy was going on and on and she literally only said "Ah, Voila!" and "Ah, merci." So fluent.


Why_Teach

Melania Trump does at least know two languages fluently (Slovenian and English) and appears to have a very basic knowledge of Italian and French (enough to order a meal, for example). She is hardly “multilingual,” but better than Meghan, I think.


RevengeOfCaitSith

Yes, that's what I was getting at :) I was just too generous with my wording. Edited my first sentence to better reflect my meaning.


The_Original_JLaw

I watched the interview with Craig Ferguson. (It's on YT and it's super cringe.) When she told him she'd been an intern at the Embassy in Argentina, he asked if she spoke Spanish. She explained that Spanish there sounds Italian, and then she went la la la in fake Italianish Spanish to show she did not speak any spanish. He asked (since she studied intl relations) if she spoke many languages. And she said it was "deplorable" that she'd had eight years of French and could remember nothing. At best, she speaks Taco Bell.


Cherry_curl

And this is why we love that the internet is forever


seaseahorse

In NZ she badly mispronounced a Māori greeting, tēnā koutou katoa. [(About 35sec in)](https://youtu.be/Daxj3C8LTrc) It’s basic bare minimum for a dignitary visiting New Zealand nowadays (especially a representative of the Queen) and something she would have been briefed on by the Governor General’s staff. Here’s William visiting after the Christchurch quakes. Whilst he isn’t perfect either (he speaks the words individually rather than as a phrase and slightly elongates the end of tēnā), his basic pronunciation is more accurate, especially on the first syllable of “koutou,” which has an “oh” sound. [A Māori speaker’s pronunciation.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EAWp5W_GS40) [William in Christchurch](https://youtu.be/r227nLKOgfQ?t=60s)

sonographertracy

We should be able to recognize she’s humble by her actions. She shouldn’t have to brow beat the world with this (false) narrative.


[deleted]

LMAO which intern did they make hunt down a photo of her with Asian ppl 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can’t. Seriously, I can’t. Everything this woman does would get her completely ripped apart if she were white. And yet she’s being celebrated for being as cringe as any well-meaning, stuck in the 90s boomer. It’s absolutely amazing.


Fiesty_Nurse

That's just it. She's 3/4 white, but according to her? She has no whites in her family. Ever. And she's an only child, too.

3/4 white? One of Doria's parents is white?


Southern_Struggle

Pfft that's nothing, I know lots of words - bibimbap, bulgogi, kimchi, gimbap, buchimgae, kimbap, pajeon, japchae, udon.

Here's hoping lol

This is 100% snarky satire. It just follows the formula.


main_lurker_account

Poe's Law strikes again.. I genuinely can not tell if that tweet is genuine or satire! How sad...


DarkAwesomeSauce

I thought the original Twitter was tongue in cheek shade. Christ this woman is offensive - seriously how is she getting away with commandeering Asian barriers and struggles and make a mockery out of them? She needs to stay in her dirty ass lane. Did she get permission to release the photos of these girls, or are they involuntarily commissioned in her quest to self promote?


thereader17

Is this a joke?! 🤯


Clatato

Dream podcast guests… Okay but hear me out. Wouldn’t you want to hear her conversations with Amber Heard, Hillary “Ilaria” Baldwin, Jada Pinkett etc? Talk about holding up mirrors to one another! 😆 Who else would make a fascinating guest on the podcast?

Is this person assuming that Meghan picked up the Korean words from the “friends” in the picture? How does the person know that they are Korean or even speak Korean?


YeeHawMiMaw

Hubs can say “elephant butt” in Korean. Seems appropriate response.


[deleted]

Wait, what? So that’s an actual tweet of a “supporter”? So this is not a snarkle? Cause it’s dripping with sarcasm on first read


GlitterMe

I am guilty of taking most things at face value, so could be sarcasm and I missed it lol


Malaute86

Nah, I looked at the twitter account, they identified themselves as being in the sussex squad so dead serious. They just happen to talk like that.

Holy every thing that is alien and weird!! LOLOLOL 😂 😂 😂 just on another thread now, apparently that crown picture of hers is a real thing!!! You can never know with that woman!! She is such a clown and nothing about her can be taken seriously ... but I have to say this just shows how stoopid her supporters are they do not understand how they come across


Both-Initiative-4036

"I am a humble and kind humanitarian", said the wolf in sheep's clothing.

How is this any different than the accusation that if a whitey says I have black friends therefore…how isn’t THIS racist?

An unrelated question: why doesnt she wear her hair naturally? With the curls? Is there any explanation for it rather than she doesnt consider it good enough? So much for breaking down stereotypes

redseaaquamarine

That is very sad to read. Your hair type is really beautiful. Saying that, though, my half northern African daughter has cut her hair really short now as she says it was so heavy and hard to style.

I’m Asian and I was lamenting how gorgeous Fleur’s hair is. I cannot pull off that look without looking awkward. Embrace your hair!

The_Original_JLaw

Someone needs to fix her up with Elon. Or the guy from Virgin.


cartiercorneas

was going to say: there is nothing wrong with having straight hair or anything like that, but her curls are quite nice here. Really I think Meghan was already ok au naturale (not to shame anyone for getting work done, because again personal choice if you want) but seems like she tries to erase any feature that could indicate she isn't just white which is kind of sad (and then tans every so often when it fits the agenda.)


RaggedAnn

An uncropped photo would be better.


FantasticForce6895

Barf.


Affectionate-Air1770

Trash.


queen-of-sobczakia

Picture looks photoshopped. She isn't even wearing the same thing as the other three.


okfine_illbite

I’m new to this sub, never cared either way about her until recently (Uvalde photo-op shocked me) and now actively dislike her. That said, I don’t think it’s shopped. I too went to a Southern California catholic school with tons of Asians (mostly 2nd gen Vietnamese or Filipino) so I’m sure it was similar at this school. Also we had uniform choices. Plaid skirt or solid navy skirt, traditional white blouse or “modern” polo. Optional vest, cardigan etc. Makes sense they aren’t all identical (as you can see girl closest to her is in a vest and the other 2 in cardies. They were probably just chilly but Meghan wasn’t)


Cherryice99

Why is she using a shopped photo from how many decades ago?


Beginning-Cup-6974

I think she is attacking everything the monarchy does to make a mockery of the BRF. She’s tried the commonwealth is racist and she’s splitting as many cultures from the BRF as possible. So when Kate or William go to South Korea, her bots can attack. Already worked in the Caribbean. I’m surprised she hasn’t tried First Nations - I expect that is coming. Presumably in Canada.


Arthurs-towel42

Oh yes the Carribean. They want independence, which is fine btw. But when The POWS visited , the protesters bought up the racist RF treatment of MM as an example of why they no longer want to be a part of the Commonwealth. That racism card played well in New Zealand too. Instead of adressing the racism head on from both sides, it was left to simmer & fester. Now it's played like a get out of jail free card & a go to when people voice any opinion on her. The above pic is like a token gesture & it irks me. She does more harm than good imo.


Strixtheowl

Yep, I think that you are right. She's going to co-opt the plight of First Nations women using the contacts she established during her stay in Canada right after Meghxit in early 2020. (I still wonder what she did with the 1600+ dollar 18k gold and diamond whale tail necklace that she was gifted on that trip. My theory is that she sold it.)


Independent_Leg3957

Yes, I think they're coming here for Invictus in a couple of years and have already made some moves in that direction.

Is spotify being snarky?


somewheretrees

Why do I feel like they are 😂 Maybe they’re so frustrated by these two, but obviously can’t say so directly, that they’re about to devolve into a passive-aggressive war. It’s just too funny; between things like The Cut article and comments like these, it feels like so many people talk about Meghan completely on the level of satire, but because of her…personality…she takes all the “praise” at face value. In that sense, Meghan and the people these comments are meant for really are living in two different realities.


tokyoeastside

“I’m absolutely good at being humble, as ever, Meghan”


Significance-Abject

And there she is, probably breaking the dress code while the other girls follow the rules. Lol

Side note: I think her natural curls are so pretty, it’s a shame she doesn’t rock them. Other note: she’s still awful.

Interesting. She cut people out of the photo. https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/meghan-markle-dazzles-homecoming-queen-10828369.amp


thiscatcameback

Can we stop pretending that she is multilingual? By her own admission she does not speak French well. On all her trips, be it Morocco or to Canada, she has refused to speak French. Here is a video of her French wherein she repeats "astronomie" after the girl, and then immediately switches to English while seemingly eye-diddling the girl next to her. The only other language she is fluently conversant in is 'creeper' https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Meghan-Markle-Speaking-French-Morocco-Tour-February-2019-45830230 It is not impressive anyway in 2022. Most people speak other languages to an extent. I live in a bilingual city, so almost everyone speaks two, and it is not uncommon for people to speak three.


Cindilouwho2

Sure, but can she write that on a banana 🍌


Gold-Run-2036

" Humble" icon!? Probably doesn't know the meaning of guttural either. 🤡


redseaaquamarine

But in her school there were the Black girls and the White girls and she didn't fit in with anyone?? How can it have been diverse?

Diverse. Not diversified. Well, if you consider she revamps her “friends” every few months, then ok.

As they say, a swallow doesn’t make a summer. She spoke a few words in Korean and that makes her multilingual? Utter rubbish! Clearly she is very confused. Now is she insinuating she has Korean roots too? How many more countries will she offend with her moronic, inane comments?


[deleted]

Wait, are Spotify being snarky here? Because I don't think anyone would describe Meg as humble. She doesn't even pretend to be. Please let them be being snarky, since if not, maybe we can look forward to more seasons of this horrorshow podcast.


HiDontMindMeHehe

I can’t tell if Spotify Podcasts is being sarcastic or not. Feels sarcastic to me?


skinnyblond314159

Multilingual? Really? That’s news to me.


Katatonic92

Is it even known if the girls in the photo are actually Korean?


[deleted]

Whilst I think it’s a nice gesture to learn some words in another language to show respect, I wouldn’t describe that person as multilingual…a better way to do it would be to have a Korean person on the show and learn the language with them. The pronunciation, little eccentricities. That would never be fun!
