And another just for clarification.
It doesn't appear racist to me, it appears as what it is. Serena throwing a temper tantrum. Regardless of the right or wrong of her position.
I'm not sure of the artist's true intent
bit mystified at the phrase "scratching your pencil" in the title
I think we should start calling out these real racists like Dr. Jason Johnson

She is a female, so not sure what he was suppose to draw other than the suggestion that females is now an untouchable class. I guess we need to stick to white males from now on...lol
Fat shaming? That woman is most likely pure muscle, so I think we should say muscle shamming..
Racism...just like my first comment...He should have drawn a white male breaking a racket...
