The Tennis thread

[simmo41]

There have been at least 4x incidents since 2016 where players have abused maggot Ramos during a match. A Murray, N Djokovic (2x) and N Kyrgios and not one of them received a code violation yet he chose to issue one to S Williams in the final of the US Open.

Those of you who argue that the maggot was ‘only doing his jerb’ should also be asking what is his criteria for issuing a code violation because it seems that the fellas can abuse him freely yet this lady can’t.

She has been treated differently here and good on her for calling this maggot out over it.

Apart from the time he did.

[Diggers]

All that does is illustrate the inconsistency of maggot Ramos’ decision making. And adds to a player’s frustration.

Cartoon is racist as ■■■■.

[bigallan]

He did another one about Sudanese gangs at a railway station, but nothing about violence by white gangs.

Cartoon is racist as ■■■■.

Too right, … he should have drawn her as a white girl throwing a tanty instead, …

[alex.f.94]

im not sure thats the point, its the way she is depicted (for me anyway), looking at a lot of knights cartoons he seems to depict people of african descent the same way… perhaps its just an antiquated quirk of his style of cartoon

[wimmera1]

Not white.
But less of an African savage would have been good.
All that’s missing is some neck rings and a spear.

Can’t she just throw a gun?

Another topic that goes to explain the
“Diggers is Stuuuuppppiiiiiiiiidddddddd”
thread.

[Diggers]

That reminds me…

If she’s in a comedy and she’s run out of bullets, sure.

[BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS]

I don’t know if I’d go that far, but clearly there is some exaggeration of some features, such as the lips, … but isn’t that what cartoons are all about?

Is drawing caricatures racist? Or only if it’s a caricature of someone non white?

[wannabe]

C’mon, in that case any caricature is racist, because it accentuates racial features.
She IS of African decent, she DOES look African. Does she want to be depicted as less African? Do spear throwing Africans look different to other Africans?

She lost her cool and is being ridiculed for it. The cartoonist is making fun of her tantrum, not her heritage.

Pretty sure Trump and John Howard and most people don’t like their caricatures when they are being ridiculed, stiff ■■■■.

[wimmera1]

Um yes?
It is?

If that’s ‘just how he draws black people’ then he Really should stop drawing black people.

I’d hate to see ‘just how he draws Jewish people.’

[Diggers]

We know he doesn’t know how to draw Japanese/Haitian girls. Unless they’re typically of pale skin with blond hair. …

[wimmera1]

The caricature doesn’t look Anything like Williams!

[BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS]

Racist? not racist?

??

I don’t accept that a caricature is suddenly racist dependent on the colour/race of the individual being caricatured.

[Henry_s_Angry_Pills]

Like the cartoon from that Aussie cartoonist that has now been labelled racist. That is ridiculous. People don’t even know the definition of racism any more

Here’s a good one

If the person it’s aimed at feels like it’s racist, it’s racist.

In this case, a great number of african american people are finding it offensive.

So… it is.

[wimmera1]

Already covered that.
He’s not drawing a caricature of Williams, not in any way like the pics you’ve posted.

[BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS]

Bulldust.
