Cartoonists discuss 'racist' Serena caricature

[Deleted]

Triggered much snowflake ? I dont need to google anything when I am well aware of this cartoonist's style and what constitutes a caricature.

Google sambo cartons and fuck off

[Gangresnake]

Yes because white people have such a strong history with being compared to ape.

Keep on grasping.

Clearly that never happened before

[Dhrizzle]

It's racist because he didn't draw a caricature of Serena, he drew a generic racist depiction of a black woman then drew Naomi Osaka as a blonde-haired white woman.

Why would it be ok to portray Trump, Bush, Blair or any white person as a monkey or ape caricature?

For Trump and Bush I think it was because they were being portrayed as making dumb decisions, with BLair its because of his ears. . .

Because people are full of shit on who and how you can insult people.

So what? I'm part Jewish, I'm not going to freak the fuck out when someone draws a caricature of a Jew with a big nose. My grandfather has a big nose; it's not a bad thing. It's just a thing. And it certainly doesn't turn the artist into a Nazi.

History shouldn't be used as a platform for self victimization.

But back to Serena's caricature - it isn't really ape-like (whatever that means, since we're apes). It's just an exaggeration of her actual features.

Lool ok so how is it Serena in the pic looks like a fat woman (which we know she is not) and yet her opponent who is Half Black and Half Asian looks white slim and has blonde hair? To further push the agenda against blacks.

Her opponent (Osaka) would also be considered black (like Obama) or biracial (like Obama). Instead she is depicted as white to further the racist intent of this imagery.

Wait, a comic to portray someone negatively makes them look bad physically while the opposite is true of the victim? youdon'tsay.meme

And she clearly isn't drawn as a baby. She's clearly being drawn as an ape.

I don't see how this is a gorilla. Is it the fact that she's more muscular than normal women? Because she roids you know, she probably has higher t-levels than 99% of the male population. Or is it the lips and nose? Because she has bigger than average lips and nose. The size of her body? Have you fucking seen her? Even before roids she had a big frame

Caricatures exaggerate your qualities that are out of the norm. Your big head is drawn bigger, your small eyes smaller, your weird chin weirder. How the fuck do you draw a caricature of her if you pussyfoot around all her unique qualities because people love screaming racism? Or should caricatures of black people be banned because they might represent a gorilla in the minds of idiots if the black person in questions has certain qualities to him/her? You wouldn't consider that racist?

Countries that take care of their citizens have socialized medicine, reformed education system, put heavy focus on mental health and care for their soldiers and child development. The United States for the most part does an abysmal job in all these fields, I am not sure what you mean by outcome it's pretty clear that all of these are flawed if not downright broken especially healthcare and veterans.

Well...yes, I agree with you, but I'm not seeing how black people are specifically disadvantaged in these areas.

[Ryme]

The lips are bit much, but that's it for me.

[zenkai]

Imagine if it was the white woman who had thrown the same fit, she would have been called racist and applauded the cartoon about her.

Her skin tone is not that much lighter than Serenas and is darker than the refs in the cartoon. Plus she did have blonde in her pony tail so......

For Trump and Bush I think it was because they were being portrayed as making dumb decisions, with BLair its because of his ears. . .

So if a black guy made dumb decisions or had big ears you still couldnt make the portrayal? You see how idiotic that is? That you cant separate race from the subject matter being discussed?

[Underverse]

Well no, their skin tones are almost identical (compared to the actual white guy in the pic) and Naomi bleaches her hair.

T'is an excellent point, good sir. I concur.

[Mehrunes]

Caricatures, especially in this style, are exagerating the shit out of someone's features (like Serena's large mouth).

Also, how on earth is a caricature about the highest earning female tennis player of last year "punching down"?

No, I'm pretty sure you can go nuts and fill your boots. . .



Not sure what your point is. I'm just pointing out that Bush was portrayed as an ape because he was considered a simpleton by simpletons standards. . .

[LaserChild9]

The country would need to start treating them like Americans first.

Yeah, coz you have never had a black president right? And if you did, you NEVER would have voted him in for a 2nd term...

[Rooflesstoofless]

Drawing Osaka as a white woman is the only racist part of this.

And people cried racism even though comparing the president to a primate was and continues to be a thing. I wonder why the same jokes can't be made if we're all equal with no differences.

Oh come on, the monkey portrayal came because he looks like a fucking chimp.
