She is drawn as an Asian. If you look closely, you can’t see her eyes.

ain't going to make you taller, unless you hang upside down on the chin bars for a few hours...a day...for about twenty years

You are being disrespectful and churlish.

I'll cop to the disrespectful part, but you take that churlish dig back!

Making Michelle Obama or someone like that into some big, super aggressive mean black woman would be pretty questionable

Serena? She's the epitome of the stereotype. Some of that isn't her fault (size and race) but the rest of it certainly is.

Not until you take back your insults and admit that Scruffy is tall when compared to other shorter animals.

trying to come up with something aboriginal here

She’s no more angry and combative than roddick, McEnroe, and Connors(who’s pretty much in a category of angry/crazy all to himself), yet they get the passionate bad boy label and she gets categorized as the militant black woman.

Different state for now. Doing fellowship.

I just don’t even get the argument the “that’s racist/sexist” side is making here. The guy is a cartoonist and he drew a cartoon of a large, muscular, black, female tennis player throwing a tantrum. To accentuate the tantrum theme he turned her face into that of a baby which is a universally known connotation...babies throw tantrums.

Tennis is bigger in other parts of the world than it is here, this was the biggest story in tennis, the cartoonist was doing his job and created a satirical Image of the situation. frick off sky screamers.
