Racist or not, your call

I’d hit it. I ain’t afraid. I’m also a few beers in.

You Sir are my new hero, run for office somewhere.

When you try it if she starts putting on spurs you better see how fast you can run...

I don’t know about you guys but It doesn’t matter what she wears. Only way to watch women’s tennis is with the screen off and the volume up.

Gets the neighbors attention good

In college I would walk by the tennis courts on my way to class from my apartment. I have never heard so much grunting with clothes on.

Racist AND sexist. I'm not a fan of hers, to say the least, but to depict her like that, definitely racist.

How did you come to that weird conclusion?

She is an unattractive Black woman and threw a temper tantrum after loosing to an Asian woman. Picture seems pretty accurate to me.

Are you perhaps one of those easily triggered types?

Are you perhaps talking out of your ass?

item: minstrel show coon lips = racist
item: oh no, a female tennis player is behaving the exact same way every male tennis player does. Unacceptable! = sexist

How is it different than any other caricature? If it's not different in some way then it's not racist. Tell us how it's different.

Did I say it's different? Looks exactly the same as this one:

Not in any way. What you posted is not a caricature. It's literally a picture of two chimps wearing clothes from the early 1900s.

Do you know what a caricature is?

So I agree with you that the Williams caricature is a caricature like other ones, so then you change your mind?

No, you would need to show me how hers is different based on race.

All caricatures exaggerate facial features. Eyes, mouth, hair, nose, chin, etc. Take this caricature of Brad Pitt for example:

Her caricature is just like any other. It's not done differently based on race. It's not even done to some extreme degree beyond what you would notmally see in a caricature. So unless you are claiming all caricatures are racist I don't understand how this one could be.

That is why I asked you to show me how hers is different than any other caricature. If you can show me how it is unlike other caricatures based on her race then a claim of racism deserves to be considered.

If it is a depiction of anything other than a white male assume sexism, racism, or both.

Those that want to find it will. Doesn't matter if it is really there or not.

And had he been drawn as a cousin-screwing, toothless wife beater redneck, it would have been racist and sexist, too.

Probably racist but if they'd slimmed down her lips, they'd be in trouble for making her look unnatural - more European. I say probably because these are cartoons. George W Bush, Obama and I all have big ears. The president cartoons always over-emphasized their ears but since big ears are not a race feature then it wasn't racist to depict Obama with big ears. That is what cartoons do - over-emphasize body features.

And had Serena been drawn swinging from a tree with a banana in het hands it would be racist.

And if your aunt had balls she'd be your uncle.

But they didn't and you haven't shown how her caracature is different than any other.

OK, dear.

 

[TheDan]

So y'all don't think drawing a black woman with minstrel show coon lips isn't even the littlest bit racist?

Maybe? I don't know the cartoonist and am not a mind reader so I have no idea if the intent was racist or not.

And your calling them "coon" lips shows your thoughts. Besides insulting a rac"coon".

 

[Grundy1133]

I don't see mention of race anywhere in the comic. acting like a spoiled brat maybe but not racist.

 

[Mowingmaniac 24/7]

If you're a white guy, just breathing is racist...
