00:00 We're talking now about the issue of the baby and the skin colour and all of that.

00:05 Look, I mean, one of the things I should say is that I think it's unlikely we're going

00:10 to spend much time on that, because I'll be absolutely frank and say I think it's a nonsense

00:13 story.

00:14 I think that there is no family of colour anywhere in the entire world where that conversation

00:22 doesn't take place.

00:24 I have a grandson who is absolutely gorgeous and delicious.

00:27 I wish I could show you a photograph of him.

00:29 And of course, we as a family talk about is he going to look more like his mother, who

00:33 looks like me, or his father, who is of Puerto Rican heritage.

00:38 In the same way that, I guess, your family might talk about what hair colour, what eye

00:42 colour.

00:43 You know, we all have the same hair colour and hair.

00:47 The thing that is different about us is skin colour.

00:49 So it's a mark of excitement.

00:51 I suspect, I have no idea what context the conversation took place in.

00:55 I imagine the conversation did take place.

00:58 And I suspect what somebody might have been saying is, I really hope this baby looks more

01:02 like her than it looked like him.
