166 sidenotes on the front cover cartoon of Serena Williams!!!???.. can someone plese give me the Cliff's Notes?
- It's racist. No it isn't. Yes it is.Morning_star
- Sponsored by Nike.robotron3k
- Cartoon of Serena. A few tweaks and it'd have been less offensive. Art Director should have asked illustrator to not exaggerate her lips. Then all ok.shapesalad
- You forgot to mention that it's a caricature and by definition the features should be exaggerated..and that is the crux of the debate.Morning_star
- Cannot satirise minorities because racismset
- OK, thanks! haha! let's not have 166 sidenotes explaining the other 166 sidenotes/ LOLKrassy
- It's racist because she's black. It's not racist because it's a caricature, and that's how caricatures are. If you don't think it's racist, you're "privileged."monospaced
- Caricatures of white people aren't racist, because they're white?monospaced
- i guess in 2020 trump will have more QBN followersoey
- and soon someone will start a discussion that blackface is not racism...i can't believe that most people here don't find it racist.oey
- well, QBN's "people of color" all so far said racist. most white people said not racist. if one can reads, this fact says it all. i rest my case.oey

- reading all those notes can't be good on the eyespinkfloyd
- Also, they have small penis syndromepinkfloyd
- challenge: draw the same satire pic, avoid race oriented iconography.uan
- @uan you missed it? here: https://www.qbn.com/…chukkaphob
- @chukka that cartoonist has no imagination, it's full of race oriented iconographyuan

- I feel like I'm having a discussion with Kellyanne...oey
- QBN is full of Kellyannes...LOL!oey
- You're not actually discussing anything, you're just saying it's racist, without defending your assertion. The only inaccuracy here is the earrings and pacifierShenanigansTV
- She has hair like this, makes faces like this, dressed like this, broke a racket. She actually cheated by being coached.ShenanigansTV

- I already wrote why I find it racist, what are you talking about? how do you know i have earrings?oey
- It's a trap to get you to admit to having a weakness for fashion.ShenanigansTV
- I've read through what you THINK is racist about it. But as already pointed out, Naomi isn't depicted as white. Serena actually made faces like the one in the dShenanigansTV
- Serena doesn't have huge lips, isn't jumping up and down like an animal. Your pics actually proved the opposite of what you intended IMO.yuekit
- rawing, it does resemble Serena specifically and not generically, it's not sexist because of a pacifier, that is a visual cue to say she was acting like a baby.ShenanigansTV
- Damn she is juicing, she got arms bigger than Federerrobotron3k
- You see another cartoon of Mcenroe being shown the same way with a pacifier. See other thread.ShenanigansTV
- Even the comment about "can you just let her win" What if she started winning, and not continuing to lose. Would she have continued?ShenanigansTV
- @yuekit ... The cartoonist had to sum up a series of behaviors in one still image. This is a 10 minute still image. The jumping is a classic cartoon expressionShenanigansTV
- Oey how do you know the people you are talking to arent people of color?cannonball1978
- here we go. here we go. here we go. againhotroddy
- ^ nice songoey
- @ cannon, magic...oey
- Nobody even mentioned, Serena knew she was losing and threw the game by attacking the umpire, so Naomi would not embarrass her.robotron3k
- Australian newspaper doesn't see how this cartoon of Serena Is racist..and neither does QBN. https://www.yahoo.co…utopian

- @ShenanigansTV IMO it's not so much the jumping itself but the way she is drawn (she looks apelike) and the huge lips which are a classic black stereotype andyuekit
- which she doesn't actually have in real life. But whatever, it's a cartoon, it's subjective. You're not going to be able to objectively prove it's not racist byyuekit
- referencing other images. In spite of what people here are saying, I do think there's a way to draw blacks that doesn't offend people like this one did.yuekit
