[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If Chris Evert is calling this a black thing, where is the prejudice against Osaka? Her dad is black American.[/quote]

At the same time, all the story leads are referring to her as Japanese. And her dad is from Haiti, not the US originally. For whatever reason, the press is identifying her with Japan and not Haiti, even though her heritage is 50% from each country.

At one point, the tv coverage panning over the crowd showed a group of fans holding up Haitian flags. So, Haitians are showing their support for her, even though the press doesn't seem to be covering this aspect of her background.

Yes, he is Haitian. I believe he has US citizenship, and Osaka is also a US citizen. She plays for Japan as I guess they back her up and supported her tennis development. She is a dual citizen. This is a sad development when USTA didn't recognize her talent and offer to pay for her development for a kid who trains in Florida and is a citizen! In any case, calling it a racial thing is just wrong. Naomi Osaka is half black. What is she choose to play for US? Either way, I can not but feel for her. She bowed to Serena during the ceremony and thanked her for playing her!! And she defeated Serena in March this year. Press and Katrina Adams are acting shameful, Serena acted shameful towards a 20 year old girl who apologized for winning! Pray, tell me who is a bully here?[/quote]
