Caroline Wozniacki has made a mid-game mockery of Serena Williams’ assets. She took the opportunity to stuff both her chest and shorts with padding, that made her resemble her much larger counterpart.
Reactions have been mixed: some have, like us, really enjoyed the prank, calling it something done in “jest”. While others have claimed it is merely outright racism.
Yahoo Sports called the impression, “hilarious” and noted, “The likeness to Serena, you’ll surely agree, is uncanny.”
Please enjoy this exchange between @blackvoices and @hazzarDeuce, noting “the legacy of Hottentot Venus”:
@blackvoices yes… the legacy of the Hottentot Venus. This is an old racist trope about our supposed hypersexuality and sexual abnormality.

Serena wasn’t there when the prank occurred, and Caroline went on to lose to her opponent, Maria Sharapova.
At least our main man Roger Federer seemed to enjoy it, though.
