Nothing to do with race?

Being openly racist is now ok because to be otherwise for some is giving in to what they call political correctness.
Trumps bigotry has green lighted them and many are expressing their pent up rage of having a black man up in the WHITE House for 8 years.
There are many more bigots in this country than many of us ever thought possible in 2018.

Australia has its own very troubled past and present with POC.

It's not that any depiction of the event would have been racist. It is the way it was actually made. I don't think any white person would have been ever drawn like this.

The actual opponent in this tennis match is not white, but is drawn to look white in this cartoon. Whether a Freudian slip or a deliberate dog whistle, that tiny detail adds to my suspicion that the depiction of Serena Williams is racially motivated and fueled by white resentment.

she does have a blonde ponytail.

What a surprise... not!

“This whole cartoon is vile,” she added, saying that Ms. Williams’s opponent, Naomi Osaka, had been drawn as a white woman. “The fact that it was printed and passed the editor’s room speaks even more volumes about the landscape of our media here in Australia.”

Chris Kindred, a cartoonist in Richmond, Va., said it only confirmed what many Americans already knew. “It’s nothing new,” he said. “Australia has an issue confronting racism. Water is wet.”
