    Very true. In the UK, you don't get a sports page talking about Serena without some clot going "Oh, she's a man", or the Daily Mail, that constantly make silly comparisons to Maria Sharapova, another poster girl for the game, because of things like dress sense and other trivial matters.

    Those racist comments are deplorable, but African (specifically Khoisan and Bantu) women do often have large behinds. It's called Steatopygia and is a genetic trait. There's nothing wrong with it, or with acknowledging it.

    If I told you that many East Asians had folds in their eyelids, it wouldn't be "stereotyping" or "racist" — it'd be factual and obvious.

    Anyway, props toSerena Williams for being such a great tennis player.

    I love Serena. I think she's the greatest women's tennis player of all time. And she's a great ambassador for America as she travels around the globe playing tennis. But I find this whole video to be revolting. So let me get this straight: If you don't like Serena, you're automatically a racist/sexist? Your evidence is anecdotal. YOU are helping to spread racism, Vox.

    A rich white sport will always have racists in there. It's how rich kids are raised sadly, the privileged are pampered to be better than everyone else, race is just 1 side of it.

    Ok Vox you do know race is determined by genetics, right? "It's not her race, it's her physique and genetics." JUST OPEN SCIENCE BOOK PLS

    When it is suggested that a person's success is due to a racial advantage, what is discounted is the hundreds, if not thousands of hours that said person has devoted to achieving that level of skill. Therefore, in the eyes of a person who subscribes to such a belief, an Asian student who scores 100% on a Math exam would be less impressive than a Caucasian student who scores 95% on the same exam.

    While I usually find the videos on this channel fairly well researched it fails this time…

    Caroline Wozniaki and Serena Williams are actually friends, there was nothing racist about her joking around at that exhibition match.
    Serena Williams has even clarified this to the press!
    So how come the incident got mentioned as an example of racism?

    The moment when you just mention a race you are called racist.
    Oh Americans, from being the most racist country in the world, is now the most sentimental country in the world.
    When will this fake Political Correctness stop.

    White people have some physical traits.
    Black people have some other physical traits.

    Acknowledging this traits is not racism.

    What Peter Larkins said had nothing racist in it and even though I don't know how it was said I think it is probably taken out of context.

    Acknowledging her race as an advantage at the sport is not racist.
    And I believe the Australians didn't make a big deal like in the US.

    The liberals are becoming worse than the Republicans .
    They think that by being overly "correct politically" makes them more liberal and open minded which in fact is quite the opposite.

    EDIT: Sorry if I offend any republican but that is the picture painted in the internet and us TV is that they are dumb and very conservative about certain things.
    I can't put everyone in one basket but that is the general idea painted for an outsider.

    So because the manner and context in which biological body morphology was invokedin clearlycrude and disrespectful ways, we are now throwing out the baby with the bathwater and pretending as though such differences among races are nonexistent because we've decided, without any rationale, that generalizations areinherentlyillegitimate? Huh?

    Okey, its wrong what some of these people say. But i didn't understand the thing with the australian guy? He basically said africans are better, how is that racist? Also it's true, african do have better gluteal strength, they build leg muscules easier. It's a fact. So i don't understand why you are blaming him for anything? A fact is a fact. What the others said is wrong though.

    It's simple – she doesn't look like a regular woman, and humans are widely known for disliking anyone who is out of common standards. And yes, to me she's ugly and looks like a man with boobs and long hair, no matter for all of her wins I will prefer Maria or any other cuties. All her wins come from her crazy physique, but since she got boobs and pussy, she competes with women and owns them all.

    This is why Wimbledon needs to genetically test all its players and separate them accordingly. Blacks are a different species. Also weed out the pan-Europeans hiding.
