News nowadays are crap. They write whatever agenda/message they want to push and the social media (online) does the rest.

The american media is slamming an australian news paper and a cartoonist calling it racist cartoon because he drew serena's nose and hips big. They are also saying that Osaka is portrayed as a busty blonde when she is a haitian/japanese. Are these writers brain dead? Osaka had dyed blonde hair for most of her young career!

In my opinion its not racist at all. These SJWs need to be given a good beating.

[thechaoz]

No it's accurate. Race has nothing to do with it. Regardless of that point Serena was outclassed that match


If you want to leave the game and get knocked up, so be it, but it'll hurt your profession as an athlete

[SBR_Guest_Pro]

the news is dumb

[gojetsgomoxies]

i think the reaction is ridiculous but predictable........... i think cartoonists always do over-the-top carcuritures (sp?) of subjects. and when the person is not attractive to start with, the results are not good.........

i'm going to be a bit of a hypocrite and say that the newspaper should have foreseen the reaction. but if they don't care, i wouldn't change anything,. if the newspaper cares about negative publicity then they shouldn't have done it.

reminds me of ESPN personality being fired for saying Venus was playing "guerilla tennis"... of course idiots took it to mean "gorilla tennis". as if any mainstream media figure would say that. i also think it's bad that some of the critics i'm sure knew what he meant but still agitated.

nowadays if you step on someones foot on a bus and turn around to discover it was a black dude - you did it just bacause of his race

[MMXVII]

Yes. Osaka isn't also black.

I'm glad Australia hasn't gone totally braindead PC yet.

Sadly the pressure is having an effect and we are well on the way to finding offense where there is none too.

No, that picture does Serena justice. ..

Seriously, No nothing racist about this cartoon, a loud picture of Serena that's not flattering is all it is.. I see no racial over tones with it...

I think the blonde hair and exaggerated tiny frame v exaggerated hairstyle and angry facial features of Serena do employ racial stereotypes (caricatures do highlight obvious differences), but the point of the cartoon is obviously about a big strong bully spitting the dummy and having such a violent tantrum that the tiny, sweet opponent, would consider letting her have her way.

Weirdly, I'd probably view it differently if it was printed in a US newspaper though.


Which makes me wonder, what would happen if a US cartoonist published stuff like this these days? Would he be out of a job in the USA?

That's all it is.. I don't think the cartoon makes her look like a gorilla or slave in shackles... Face features aren't tremendously exaggerated either with massive lips and a two car garage sized nose...

Cartoon is not racist at all.. It perhaps is insulting to Serena's character but not to her color of skin.. That's keeping real I think..

ESPN fired someone over that, But Steve Harvey Said the same about
GOLDEN STATE Warriors being a bunch of gorillas and you heard nothing about it.

the NBA studio guys (who i love... shaq and barkley in this case) said it was perfectly fine for blacks to use the N word gratitiously but it was terrible for whites to use it even in the exact same way blacks use it (i.e. term of endearment often)...... one of the few times i really disagreed with them strongly. lindsey lohan got heat for mentioning the name of an album with the N word in it. imagine that

You should not be commenting on what is racist as you are too ignorant to understand what racism really is.

I don’t see the reason for US citizens getting riled up about a cartoon from a racist 3rd world continent like Australia. I’ve traveled Australia and it is 3rd world.

You are far from color blind. You are Easily one of the most racist sub-humans at sbr. Keep lying to yourself if it will allow you to sleep at night though.

Cartoon is just a cartoon. Is it a bit exaggerated? Yes. Does it offend me? No. In the big picture Does my opinion matter on the subject? No.

sorry, forgot to link it.

I think the artist was being too nice to serena. She is much uglier in real life.

[JIBBBY]

Serena looks more like a Turkey bird then anything else in the Cartoon picture.. Love the pacifier on the ground ...

Picture depicts her being a poor loser and spoiled brat throwing a tantrum and nothing more.. This is still making news across the globe... What a joke...

That's hilarious. Don't get me wrong, I love visiting America but Australia is so much a better place to live it's not funny.
