Is this a racist cartoon or a carictature?




Naomi Osaka defeated Serena in the finals of the US Open.


An Australian cartoon draw-er by the name of Mark Knight did the cartoon.


And that is what Yahoo Sports said about the cartoon.

Some facts:
  • Naomi was born in Japan & moved to the US at age 3
  • Naomi's dad is Haitian
  • Her last name is her mother's maiden name
  • Naomi is 20 & speaks 'broken Japanese'
  • My bros John & Timmy speak 'broken Spanish'
Serena was correct in saying that the men in tennis get away with a lot
more than she did
Serena really did lose her cool.
Naomi actually felt she had to apologize for beating Serena.
The NY crowd did not cheer for Naomi, they were booing the umpire.

The cartoonist says his drawing was all about bad sportswomanship.

Yahoo says it was racist. Mark Knight had also posted another cartoon about tennis:


Evidently a Male tennis player was also being an asshole at a tennis tournament!

So, what do you think?

Me? I think Serena was also being an asshole....
& as for Yahoo? Naomi did have a blonde ponytail.



But I am a nobody...
