do you think the Serena williams cartoon was

racist and sexist ?

It was designed as an insult to Serena and since she is both woman and African American it could easily be seen as both.

@GJOFJ3 it is in fact a caricature of a person who happens to be a woman and an African-American but in what way is it sexist or racist. when people make caricatures of Trump do we interpret it as prejudicial against white men? is any caricature of a woman sexist and of a African-American racist?

@reflectingmonkey true but the rules are different. Christians and whites are fair game.

Not racist or sexist. The cartoon and the circumstance go together perfectly well.

The press trying to excuse her for her conduct by calling this racist or sexist is typical of their controversy baiting nonsense.

I think it was ugly, but then again, I think the same about the political cartoons, and I don't even like politicians.

for those who havent seen it

@reflectingmonkey Not so much sexist because she is vs anothe rfemale But it is racist because of the way they have her drawn and it’s just straight up not true and rude

@reflectingmonkey I wouldn't say racist and sexist, but it's harsh to Serena. She was obviously in the wrong, but she does also seem to have been penalised excessively compared to other players who have become agitated on court.

@fazer1k to me all it says is "getting angry looks silly". in the time of McEnroe many people made fun of him for getting angry, its just humour.

I think it’s been blown out of proportion simply due to who it hapoened to.

No more than a caricature is.
