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


But it's okay to speculate the sex of the baby, just not the color when the baby's father is a different skin color than the baby's mother, right?

I'm going to be honest, I don't see how that's remotely "racist." It may be inappropriate and impolite, but there's nothing fundamentally racist in his statement.

Speculating the sex of a baby isn't the same as speculating what color skin a biracial baby will have.

Nay nay my friend.

Ms. Williams and the tennis association did not consider Mr. Nastase cultural or personal background. Maybe Llie is identifying as a black person today, which gives him some leeway?

In other words, what a bunch of culturally insensitive shite lords.

I guess bringing up race in any way when discussing colored people / people of color is considered racist now.

Offensive, and ignorant comments aren't always racist. Tasteless =/= rscist

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.


Does she live in Romania?

He crossed the line in a crude way, not necessarily racist. I have never liked the guy. And also why tennis has never pushed him as a front man.
But SW has been quite crude herself at times.

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


I think the way he said it "Chocolate with milk" was the kinda racist part.


Its not as bad as somethings people have said. But I dont blame Serena for being offended.

I havnt read her full response, just the quoted portion above, seems like she is just disappointed in his words and not going full blown snowflake and calling him to be fired.

She could probably kick his arse 20 weeks pregnant or not so who the F cares. She likes the LWC and he's a POS. Leave it at that
