Kudos to the cartoonist for his creativity and imagination. Life will indeed be dull without such people.

Serena's tantrums

There was nothing 'racist' about that cartoon. Cartoonists always exaggerate the physical characteristics of the person they are depicting. She can't deny that she has thick lips or is physically an imposing for a woman athlete. Her tantrums and her opponent's calm demanour can be traced to the cultural differences of the two countries they are from. The countries in the east are more guided by a different philosophy of life than in the west, particularly the USA, where winning at all costs is prized above everything else
