[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a black woman--actually, 1/2 Asian too, but I identify as black given how I was raised (predominantly black schools and neighborhoods).  While it seems there was some uneven adherence to the rules, it never works for a black person--even Serena Williams--to say that other non-black/males have gotten away with the same behavior.  We know that we are conspicuous in predominantly white spaces and will be held to a different standard.  A shame, and unfair, but the truth.  Bad behavior is never seen as a reflection of an individual simply having a tough moment when the individual in question is black--it becomes an excuse for covert and overt racism.

Take a look at this Australian cartoon, in which the artist chose to portray Serena in the style of the Sambo-style depictions of black people common 100 years ago.  Also see how Osaka is portrayed in the same cartoon.

Wow, that is horrible!

Interesting that Osaka is portrayed with blond hair. Also, that she is being asked to "let" Serena win when she is the one who was awarded the extra point and game.
