    It's obvious a racist stereotype. Thick lips, weird hairdo.
    Her opponent made white, while she aint.
    Get over it to see it how it is.

    PC nonsense like this is why the Democrats have been getting slaughtered for the last 6 years.

    How about the referee's nose? Should Austrians or Jews be angry and see racism?

    How about the Australian officers picture? Should white people be upset at the elongated and pointy jawline?

    No one cares about this PC crap anymore, all it does is make whoever uses it look like an immature child.

    So, if I draw a white guy with thin lips, bleached skin, pointy nose, stringy hair -
    is that a white stereotype?

    I dunno why you want to change the subject of what a white stereotype is, when we're discussing a black stereotype.

    Because the subject is about stereotyping people.
    And it's about being intellectually fair, and taking a
    look at your own prejudices.

    That is just reflecting.
    The point here is... is this cartoon racist or not?
    And that all involves what a black stereotype is.
    The glove fits.


    If you want to talk about Jewish stereo types or I dunno what...
    Then you go and make a topic about that.

    No, the cartoon is not racist.
    The intention is not racist.
    PC nazis base their offense upon how they perceive something, not the
    actual facts of the issue.
    Knight, like any character artist, accentuates features.
    Williams features include her lips (if she had big ears like Prince Charles
    he would have drawn these instead.)
    I have done similar art, and had to learn to identify one, maybe two prominent
    facial features. With Trump it's his small nose and thick neck. Would I be racist
    for drawing him like this? Absolutely not.
    I think a lot of people ought to just grow up.

    As an aside to this: I find that people, particularly on the Left
    of the spectrum, define things simplistically and limit the terms
    of reference to the debate. Are you doing that here?

    What this particular case proved is that there isn't much difference between fanatical liberal PC brigade, radical left and radical Sunni Muslims. They all go crazy over a simple cartton and call upon lynching of cartoonists. Tragic. No sense of humour whatsoever.

    You don't know the intention. You see the cartoon as it is.
    And it matches the negative stereotype of a black woman depicted in the apartheid era of the US.

    It's time to put your touchy right wing feelings aside.
    And judge it on what it is.

    I'm not right wing and to me it is cartoon of a specific person.
    If you go to Paris specifically Monmartre you can have your own cartoon done by an artist and what they do is to exaggerate your features although the end result is you.
    That is what this artist has done in her case,the fact that it resembles the stereotype has nothing to do with it.

    And that's where you're wrong. Because the big fat red lips is totally made up by the cartoonist. Williams had nothing like that one bit. It's just as unexplainable as portraying her opponent as white. And them lips,... thats just classic how black people were depicted in the apartheid era of the US.

    She doesn't have the red lips feature to exaggerate.

    Imagine this comical scenario... Serena Williams goes to Monmartre. She sees the caricature artist. Serena pays the fee to the artist and says "draw me." Somebody is gonna be a racist....

    The same can be said with say a leftist cartoon portraying gun owners as icthy trigger finger rednecks.

    How about you post me a pic of that game where she had red lips?

    You're being sensitive for looking the other way when racist apartheid era black stereotypes surface.

    It looks like Serena and it accurately shows her throwing the temper tantrum of a spoiled brat. Thus it is not racist; but the kneejerk response of leftists does show that on the whole they are being racist in that Blacks can NEVER be fair game for political cartoons unless one of two criteria are met; either the cartoon is being good to the Black -- as in displaying him or her as an angel on Earth -- or the Black is an EVIL Right of Center person.

    Right. It's hard to appreciate the 'humor' in something when it is wrong.

    When I saw the pic I saw an angry Serena jumping up an down on a racket or raquet, whatever, and nothing else. If you see something about "angry black women" then maybe the problem isn't with the cartoon but your perceptions of black women.

    Pray tell could someone please launch Paint and draw a picture of Serena Williams throwing a tantrum that is acceptable. Until someone actually puts up an acceptable pic of an angry Serena Williams who is black then I am calling this bullshit and nothing more than faux outrage and virtue signalling.

    It is racist, because the cartoon adds racist stereotypes that Serena doesn't have.

    No it doesn't. There are artistic rules for caricature and the artist followed those rules of caricature portrayal for this specific individual. Any artist who's actually studied the art of caricature and practiced it would say the same unless he or she were such a leftist political tool that lying rather than truth telling on the subject served the ideologically based end . . . as in the leftist political end justifies the means.
