Here's another half a dozen caricatures of Serena by different cartoonists over her career ....

Amazing, you've just proven that it actually is possible to make cartoons of Serena without reproducing Jim Crowe offensive caricatures. Not really hard is it? I wonder if Mark Knight took note.

Jim Crowe is irrelevant.

Good grief if you think none of those are on a par with Mark Knights cartoon drawing ... you ought go to Spec Savers. Roll Eyes

No. Why would he?

Why even ask 'why' when he clearly drew her as Japanese with bleached yellow ropey hair?

??

I can't tell her ethnicity from the cartoon. Although the pictures seem to show she has bleached her hair. Or Perhaps merely long tips.

Both players have the sameish skin tone in the cartoon. The umpire is the only white person in that trio, his face has a pink hue. The women are coffee coloured with a bit less milk with Williams.

The coach admitted coaching, by the way, after the game. The umpire was absolutely right. Will Williams apologise for calling him a liar and a thief? No. Coz she is fighting for all the other women who get $2.5 million per game. And stuff. And because she has a daughter.

How laughable.

Rust never sleeps, nor does the never ending crusade, these days led by the Left to erode freedom of expression

They are the enemy and don't ever forget that, not for a second

They will put twists on it, claiming, racism, sexism, whatever label they can lay their grubby hands on, as long as it suits their purpose, to muzzle people and make them afraid to express their point of view

The Australian version of this is the Labor Party Member Stephen Conroy who tried to bring in a Star Chamber to decide what the media could and couldn't publish. Thankfully Labor and Conroy were tossed out

But beware there are many more Stephen Conroys out there just waiting to turn this Country into 1984

They can go to hell in a hand basket!

Grow up, the lot of you. Dissecting a cartoon ... because you can?

Naff off ... it's been dissected by the race card playing victim industry ...

and the cartoonist vilified & death threats sent to his wife & children.

Have you got a decent point to make?

If not tat tah. Angry

No .. I don't believe he portrayed Osaka as white ...

yes I believe he portrayed Serena as exactly as she behaved in satirical cartoon caricature.

Exactly.....except I reckon he drew her pretty accurately when she was having her tantrum. Not much satire.

In any event...forget that. Gandalf was arguing that he drew Osaka as a white (goody goody) person and Serena as a large black (demon,) which she was 100%.
