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

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