It’s bloody difficult. Especially the lips." https://www.spectator.co.uk/2018/09/is-it-possible-to-draw-serena-williams-without-being-racist/ …

        Liddle is unfortunately one of that growing class of British idiots for whom the concepts of truth and morality no longer have any meaning, and all statements are judged only on the basis of whether they will annoy someone or not

        Exactly what I was going to say. There were brutal, yet non-racist, Obama cartoons almost daily when he was campaigning and in office.

        Obviously shouldn't have been a cartoonist or an elected leader. Sigh. Village idiot is a long honored British profession if Monty Python is to be believed.

        If you think black felt-tip pen is the best tool to draw Serena Williams' skin... you're racist as fuck.
