In Obama’s transformed world everyone is a racist or sexist if they are not black and supporting progressive politics.

Seemed to me he meant to imply that they were un feminine. Woman can be big and athletic and still be womanly. I have a lady relative who is an Olympic athlete who is a very attractive lady. Heck, I'm just guessing what this guy thinks.

Hey that ruskie stole my line.
I’ve been referring to them as the William brothers since they first came on the scene.
Has nothing to do with skin color.

Venus was always more ‘regal’ in stature, while Serena was, oh, let’s say athletic.

Putin will make sure that the Russan judge is shielded from any pukish US PC crap.
Now if that were an American judge, he would have lost his job and been subjected to prosecution for hate crimes.

Are there steroids involved here?
I remember Russian women in the olympics that were quite masculine, too.
