community, particularly one so esteemed as yourself. However much it pains me to do so, I feel the need to point out that, while Prince Andrew's former wife is, indeed, VERY white, (as evidenced by the extreme skin damage she has incurred despite a life lived under the perpetually cloudy skies of her native land) the question of how "fine" she may be is still available for debate. On the one hand, she has been very supportive of her ex-husband in general and seems to understand--like the Biblical Sarah and Leah--that an extra concubine or two is nothing to make a fuss over. On the other hand, she did engage in adultery and by both Biblical and British historical standards she should have been put to death. Still, Jesus, Himself, was willing to spare an adulteress that particular fate, provided she refrain from any future sin. Thus we can conclude that Andrew was satisfied with her penance and didn't feel the need to trouble his mother with plans for an execution.
Of course, as you have so astutely pointed out, these matters are completely separate from the much more serious issue of marrying outside of one's race.
