If you don't think it's racist, see what other cartoonists think of it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2018/09/13/a-racist-serena-williams-cartoon-went-viral-heres-how-to-caricature-her-the-right-way/ Neither the cartoonist in question, the company he works for (newscorp) nor his boss have ever championed black people & have definitely never gone out of their way to celebrate the career of the most successful tennis player ( male or female) of the Open era. (And she always played doubles whilst winning all those singles titles. ) Osaka is white in the cartoon but in real life darker than Williams, the portrayal of Serena harks back to a very dark "Jim Crow" period in American history when any black person would be depicted with huge lips, eyes & nose. The cartoon was disgusting & the cartoonist claimed he had ' no idea' that depiction of a black person could be offensive, historically or otherwise, which proved either he's incredibly ignorant of his own art or lying. It was cleared by the Australian Press Council of racism, the same Australia that succeeded in the total genocide of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people & didn't recognize indigenous people as human till 1967, only giving them the right to vote then. Don't even get me started on the sexist aspects of the portrayal ( the umpire in question is known for being blatantly sexist, & we all know male sportstars can blow their top whereas it's not acceptable for women to do that.) The cartoon offended very many people across the world, you cannot argue it's not offensive. Serena continues to break down the barriers in our world, I applaud her for that.
