        So you can draw a cartoon of a white person all day long depicting him as orange, but if you draw one of a person who is ACTUALLY black, who acted like a lunatic over a sports game, you are suddenly racist????? Ridiculous.

        Williams was portrayed in an unattractive ape-like manner, which , unless you're lying to yourself, everyone knows is the racist insult most used by whites against blacks. The other blond-haired white player in the cartoon is attractively portrayed. It's obvious what was meant.

        Cartoons are satire and meant to be exaggerated. Liberals are now threatening the cartoonist's life...sound eerily familiar?https://twitter.com/NorthNapper/status/1039478605682823168 …

        3 years ago 12 people lost their lives over a cartoon, the world came together with the believe nobody should die because of their Art work. Today, Mark Knight has deleted his social media accounts due to countless number of death threats over his caricature cartoon of Serena. pic.twitter.com/txA43dQ06t

        But Naomi Osaka is also black and she's in the cartoon as well. All of a sudden, we're confused and they've been going off sexism to racism.

        Why is the other female tennis player in the cartoon a white girl with blonde hair? I thought she was again with black hair? 🤔

        Still not sure how this is racist. If you draw a feature exaggerated picture of a white girl is that racist? The race card is played so much that it’s losing meaning. Better start cloning Jesse Jackson now, He’s gonna be busy. Should’ve just drawn her with a diaper and a bottle.
