. Effectively it was an art style from the 50's that exaggerated features like large lips darker skin tones, top knots, larger limbs etc. None of that is strictly speaking an issue, it's similar to the pictures you might get done at the seaside, however the style was generally used to depict black people as uneducated figures of fun or savages and it's those connotations that cause the issue. Think golliwogs or the crows from Disney's Dumbo.
She lost the plot yeah, but savage is a bit of a strong word.When one behaves like a savage one might not be surprised if a cartoonist caricatures you as such... Good cartoon
I'd post some links but I'm on a work laptop and don't need that kind of heat
Another 'world has gone mad' thread. Does a tweet from a child author on their opinion of a cartoon depicting a sporting event really even thread worthy?
TBH i think Ramos docking a game in a Grand Slam final for a playing arguing against the umpiring is stupid. I wouldn't say it happened because she is a woman, i am surprised it even happened at all given it was a huge match. He is a proper stickler for the rules and may be a celebrated umpire but his hardline umpiring can often be to the detriment of the game, sometimes picking awkward times to give warnings when players are on on a knife edge mentality wise.
As I recall he failed to dock Nadal last year after he argued back for poor umpiring about the slow play warnings during one of the earlier french open matches. A lot of top players have been fairly critical of his umpiring, saying that he does it to be 'the star of the show' and is inconsistent with how harsh he is. It isn't hard to see why she went off on a rant thinking he had something against her.
