I watched this match, big Serena fan but I didn't think anything racist or sexist was happening tbh. I thought Naomi had her moment stolen

they're talking about the cartoon caricature done of Serena; not the match.

There was plenty of racist & sexist talk about the match on the sports channels I watch

It is RACIST! To my fellow Americans, learn your history! This is how African Americans were depicted over 100 years ago, as “raging monsters”! This has no place in our country or the world! Utterly despicable!!

How is it racist...? isn't it just satire about her tantrum at the recent game?

Your "brutal honesty" sounds like it might have to do with a skewed perception of American history. The caricature hardly even depicted her as human. Proud racists used to draw similarly unrealistic depictions of people of color & images were published in many racist newspapers

I can assure im no racist. Im against such behavior however I see your point. Thank you for the clarification on that.

Thank you for hearing me out. It's definitely something that's become a taboo. Especially the exaggerated stereotype of an "angry black woman" conveys an underlying message that there is something inherently negative about black people expressing emotions publicly/ privately.

It’s a caricature, Unflattering YES.

In quotes? Really? As if there were some debate? It is a racist cartoon.

Criticize the cartoon and the artist for his poor taste, but racist? How would you draw a woman who is black, has full lips and is throwing a tantrum? Or are you saying that he can't? If so, you're just like the terrorists that attacked Charlie Hebdo...

I find all of it in bad taste, but no one got upset in 2013. Or hell, I can't remember when but I do remember "when"pic.twitter.com/zoAsVT4gj6

And for you too sensitive to read a cartoon, here is Mark Knight's [@Knightcartoons] "soft-polished-sweetened-non-shocking-American" version, modified by yours truly ...you're welcomepic.twitter.com/boJiFLb8GF

It's hard to deny that there is a double standard in tennis. But if a cartoonist, like columnists, isn't riling people up, they aren't doing their job.

Because it never stops at mocking or black people. These neo nazis are the enemy of everybody.

It's different when neo nazis do it. If you don't stand against it now, nobody will stand for you when they lynch you.
