The liberal internet is going wild over this "racist" and "sexist" depiction. I guess the artist should have made her white and male? They would be applauding it if it was a white male acting like a childish baffoon.

I could MAYBE see how some would see it as racist - especially the left - although she is a powerfully built large African American, although she is a woman and although she did indeed have a temper tantrum on the court that completely stole her opponents thunder. They are also whining about her oppponent being depicted with blonde hair although her opponent does indeed have dyed blonde hair. She should be ashamed of herself. Meanwhile the left is fawning over her as if she had royal blood even calling her heroic. Meh, she's far from heroic and shouldn't be inspirational outside her tennis world as she's apparently done nothing to help out the world around her, in other words she's become an elitist cocooned safely in her world of wealth and privilege.

Anyway, who here thinks this is racist and sexist? I can tell you that about 5 - 6 people will respond that it is indeed racist/sexist/andsomeotherists too.

Honestly, I don't think what Serena did was all that bad, but calling the cartoon racist is just stupid. It's not like no one ever mocks behavior of male athletes (Tim Tebow anyone?)

I think it was the act of a petulent child who is growing old too quickly and see's her productive days drawing to a close. I think that has her frustrated and she acted out here. She stole the spotlight from the winner. Kind of like an Obama speech where he refers to himself 42 times in 45 minutes.

I guess the artists should have drawn an aquiline nose and smaller lips, you know, europeanize her some.

Idiots would have called that racist as well. There is no winning with some people.

What Serena Williams did was horrid. It was not because she showed any fire and passion - it was because she acted like a spoiled, entitled b!tch during the winning ceremony. The poor Japanese woman who beat her should have had a great moment. Unfortunately, she was ashamed of winning because of the giant ass - aka Serena Williams.

Quote:Naomi Osaka, 20 years old, just became the first player from Japan to win a Grand Slam.

Yet rather than cheer Osaka, the crowd, the commentators and US Open officials all expressed shock and grief that Serena Williams lost.

Osaka spent what should have been her victory lap in tears. It had been her childhood dream to make it to the US Open and possibly play against Williams, her idol, in the final.

It’s hard to recall a more unsportsmanlike event.

Here was a young girl who pulled off one of the greatest upsets ever, who fought for every point she earned, ashamed.

At the awards ceremony, Osaka covered her face with her black visor and cried. The crowd booed her. Katrina Adams, chairman and president of the USTA, opened the awards ceremony by denigrating the winner and lionizing Williams — whose ego, if anything, needs piercing.

Her features are no more exaggerated than any other caricature especially of President Trump

Here's search of pictures of Serena Williams from the US Open

Well the lips don't look like hers, but maybe it was bigger to make it look more like a whine.

It's a political cartoon. It's supposed to be insulting.

Caricaturists have been exaggerating their subjects prominent physical features since Johannes Gütenburg invented the printing press. Here's one of my favorite examples:



The actual people:

I still don't understand how this is racist, beyond the fact that alt-leftism has devolved to the point where ANY criticism of someone that just so happens to be a:

POC = racist
woman = sexist
transgender = transphobic
gay = homophobic
muslim = islamophobic
