FULL TITLE: Australian cartoon of Serena Williams' epic meltdown at the US Open 'ISN'T racist and doesn't depict her as an ape', watchdog rules
A cartoon of Serena Williams published in the aftermath of her US Open final defeat to Naomi Osaka was not racist, a watchdog has found.
Williams suffered an extraordinary meltdown during her loss to Naomi Osaka in the US Open final in September - calling umpire Carlos Ramos a thief for taking a point away from her.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion was penalised a point for a second offence, smashing her racket, and then a game after she verbally abused Ramos.
In the aftermath, the Herald Sun published a cartoon of Williams, with some believing the tennis star was depicted as an ape.

“In the aftermath, the Herald Sun published a cartoon of Williams, with some believing the tennis star was depicted as an ape.”
The cartoon was unfair to apes.
No one saw the baby pacifier just a foot away from her feet in that pic?
The image was clear, she was acting like a big baby!
Cartoons almost always exaggerate peoples features. Obama cartoon always exaggerated his ears. Trump cartoons do the same with his face and hair. Get over it. Oh, I forgot. The PC folks are scouring the old historical videos and pics (for example John Wayne’s old videos) in order to find something new to whine about.
why was this bart and bully at the oscars presenting last night?
BRAT and Bully
Draw a cartoon of an ABF. And right away snowflakes see an ape. Gee, I wonder why they see such racist images?
ABF: Angry Black Female.
And ethnos shall rise against ethnos.
I tried to make it plain before but some didn’t catch on.
All this “outrage” will not end well. /Captain Obvious
It’s Getty so it can’t be posted here (not the cartoon)
That’s what my arms looked like when I lifted weights and worked out 6 days a week. Except I’m like totally honky and a man.
Serena Williams has always been a poor sport.
So Barack went off-the-shoulder?
Hope he found a Target bathroom nearby.
That could cause a 6.7 - just sayin’ ......
Well, she did “chimp out”, after her loss.
YIKES!
The mod must be a leftist snowflake and removed the post of the cartoon.
I wondered if that was what was getting deleted.
And they wonder why the fund raising takes so long.
That sort of stuff has been going on for quite a while now, very stunting to fund raising when PC mods are running the show.
Maybe it’s Getty like the image link I posted (from the same article).
Getty images cannot be posted. I do know that one I linked to is Getty - or at least it says so.
