All I hear are crickets from the tennis officials. Where is the accountability? While we wait for that accountability, I hope to see Townsend continue to kick butt on the court and speak truth to power with such elegance 💯🫶

Accountability for the racist remarks. Players can argue but if it's rooted in racism and oppression, they should be held accountable. Hope u can agree that racism isn't cool and ppl can do better...

I mean, she said absolutely nothing racist. You can't police someone for undertones

Black women in tennis have been policed for much less. Her comments are racist and bipoc including myself have heard those comments throughout our lives. It's a common offensive trope. Don't believe me, believe me. Either is fine. I get it, no allyship here.

A Latvian tennis player isn't walking around with American racial tropes at her disposal

The trope is not exclusive to the US. It's something u can see play out internationally, including in Europe. Racism exists there, too.

You're right, people call each other dumb all the time. "You're not educated" was one of Serena's favorite trash talk insults too

You're kidding, right? If they can quote liberally from American TV, movies and music, what makes you think other "stuff" hasn't filtered out too?

Because that's not even remotely the same thing.

According to you these 'tropes' don't show up in popular media? Fuck outta here.

And Americans from all backgrounds call each other uneducated all the time. It's one of our favorite insults

Bad faith argument. This set of insults hits different when it's directed at a Black person. By a White person.
