Herald Sun Cartoonist Defends Racist, Sexist Serena Williams Cartoon


An Australian cartoonist is standing by his cartoon of Serena Williams that perpetuates the racist and sexist “angry black woman” trope. In the cartoon, Williams is depicted with an exaggerated face and body, jumping on her smashed racket with a pacifier nearby. To attempt to prove his point, he posted a previous cartoon about male player Nick Kyrgios receiving a “pep talk” after appearing “sulky” during the tournament. Knight, whose past cartoons have also been skewered as racist and sexist, did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for further comment. Well Julie here’s a cartoon I drew a few days before when Australian male tennis player Kyrgios at the US Open was behaving badly.
