Nope. I don't form my opinions based on what anyone else thinks.

I have done a lot of things in this life that might send me to hell, but I doubt that not being as fond of Serena as you, will be one of them.

My $0.02:
I'm not a big Tennis guy. I do know that I've seen John McEnroe swear like a psychopath and throw #### referees. Williams behavior doesn't even approach the things I've seen while scrolling past tennis events. Now, I have never used the phrase "victim of the patriarchy" and I don't intend to now (in fact, I just threw up a little in my mouth typing that) however, there does appear to be a double standard. I don't know whether it's based on race, sex, or just that the referee was an overly-sensitive little bitch - but I do know that I've seen a lot less made of much worse.
Now, as for the cartoon, the first time I saw it, my first thought was, "What moron editor let that slip by". I don't care what anyone says her caricature looks like something that came out of a 1940's Bugs Bunny cartoon. Anyone who denies that it's completely inappropriate and racist is either in denial, or ####ing retarded.

The one where Bugs gets captured and thrown in the pot by the headhunter tribe. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

Isn't exaggerating the exact point of caricature and comic drawing?
I think that's just the "comic" thing.

The only speech they want espoused is that with which they agree. Everything else is hate and not protected by their reading of 1A

A look into Ramos history of other matches determined that he is tough but very consistent with all players of both sexes.
Political cartoons are often done in caricature style which emphasizes noticeable characteristics of a subject. Not racist at all. Nothing about it even comes close to the definition of racism.

Waiting for the light to come on...
I was incorrigible at 3 why would I be any different at 60?
That's me, giving one of my Great Uncle's the raspberry sitting next to one of my ggmothers and my older sister...

So he's an overly sensitive little bitch then. Fair enough.
Either way, I wasn't calling out the judge personally - I'm just saying what I said: I've seen a lot worse receive a lot less on the tennis court, and that's all there is to it.
I stand by the last sentence in my post.

Then you must not be familiar with caricatures. If you look at the cartoonists other work you would see that he does the same type of drawing for everyone regardless of their race or sex.
If he wasn't a Raging Racist he would have made her caricature look like Jackie O.

My parents have a set of all of us that was done on the OC boardwalk that emphasize everything that's white about us. None of us or others have ever been offended by them..Just laughter when folks see them.
