Lol, well if you call making Naomi a white blond blue eye woman even handed then I have a bridge to sell you. The picture has a lot of symbolism in it but one thing for sure is you have a picture of a huge black woman jumping up and down looking like one of those nice sambo caricatures while you present the other person as this innocent white blond blue eye woman. No, I have no clue about racism in Australia, only thing I do know is that you tried to present the Australian press in a light as if they are innocent of any type of stereotypical viewpoint while supporting a stereotypical view point.
People like to throw the word racist around alot put I will be the first to say that everything isn't racist but stereotypical is something totally different. What that cartoon says is you have a certain viewpoint towards black woman. First you made her look fat, next you gave her some really nice big lips, then you suggest the opponent is a white blue eyed white woman suggesting she should give the angry black woman the win. Whether you understand the stereotypical representation made or not doesn't excuse that you fell right into that stereotypical viewpoint.

Where are the blue eyes in that cartoon? Naomi also has a blonde ponytail in real life, Serena is huge and she also has big lips (These little facts that you ignore show me your bias immediately)
That cartoon is a caricature, all features are exaggerated, your deliberately blowing this out to suit your agenda, which will only backfire on race relations, everyone should be fair game for satire, I find you very disingenuous and will not engage with you further
Some of his other art, one of Amanda Vanstone an Australian politician, he has done our past Prime Minister of Australia with huge ears to exaggerate his features, no one blinked an eye, he has many more examples, even of Australian tennis players with hugely exaggerated features
Don't just assume your way through life

WTF, the cartoon doesn't even closely resemble Serena. How dare they draw such a hideous looking spectacle and try and pass it off as a caricature. They literally set out to make it as grotesque as possible and completely failed at conveying the point. "Oh the caricature has big lips, therefore it represents Serena" Are you KIDDING me?!?!
