    The Australian newspaper Herald & sun have come out fighting against the criticism that the cartoon was Racists.


    Do you agree or disagree?
    I disagree as characterizations are a part of daily life for cartoonists.

    She threw a tantrum and smashed her racquet . He drew a picture of her throwing a tantrum and smashing her racquet . All the right on people falling over themselves to say how racist it is are the ones making it about the colour of her skin.

    Are black people exempt from criticism because their ancestors had it so bad? She's a millionaire celebrity, hardly the champion of the put upon poor black folk

    Is a picture of John mcenroe having a tantrum and smashing his racquet racist towards white people ? Or just another tool having a tantrum?


    Some people just need to realise ranting in a refs face isn't the way to play sport.

    Here's another article on it. By the way for those you don't know the article below is the same media outlet as the newspapers above.
