Serena Williams ripped Romanian tennis legend Ilie Nastase Monday for what she described as "racist comments toward myself and my unborn child." Nastase, 70, was provisionally suspended Sunday by the International Tennis Federation for hurling expletives at British player Johanna Konta, Britain captain Anne Keothavong and the umpire during the Fed Cup match between Great Britain and Romania. The two-time Grand Slam singles champion was already in hot water after he speculated on the skin color of Williams' baby at a news conference Friday.


quote:

"Let's see what color it has. Chocolate with milk?" Nastase was quoted as saying. Williams is engaged to Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who is white.

Why are blacks so quick to draw the race card? I'm sure the dude meant zero harm from it.

What Nastase said was fricked up, no doubt about it, but her response:

quote:

"It disappoints me to know we live in a society which people like Ilie Nastase can make such racist comments towards myself and unborn child, and sexist comments against my peers.


first off, would she prefer to live in a society where people go to jail for saying shite thats mean?

second off, he's getting panned by everybody for saying it, so she clearly doesnt live in a society where its acceptable

It's racist to say she's having a mixed kid?

He's saying that Alex Ohanian is a cuck? Questioning whether it will be mixed or not

That's not racist. It's just crude but that's Nastasse in a nutshell

No. Maybe offensive speculating if the baby daddy is white or bblack, but no hatred shown so not racist.

Is the kid supposed to be mixed or something? Not really seeing the issue unless calling black people chocolate is bad

How exactly is it racist? She's black and the little bastard's father is white.

I bet she's made Swirling comments before

It may not be racist but it's still in poor taste.

Speculating the color of an unborn babies skin at a press conference isn't cool, that crosses a line.
