TW: Racism

Naomi Osaka, a tennis player genius, half-Japanese and half-Haitian, was mocked by a Japanese "comedic" duo A Masso for the color of her skin, implying she was "sunburnt" and needed "bleach."

This is *beyond* despicable.https://t.co/kTqjNdPKdn

She was always capable, imo, it's just that she often got bogged down playing these lengthy points that would lead to nowhere in last second  because of poor shot choices. Glad to see that she is coming into her own as she's one of the few U.S. players that I can actually enjoy watching.

Lissen, the U.S. has some slim pickings these days, I'm just enjoying the fact that she's not a Trumpist, lol.

Look like it was taken down. Its not connecting/working.

Apparently, some Chinese and Zhang fans are disputing this.  Nonetheless, this is a security issue and needs to be investigated.

 

Today, As a tennis fan. I’m devastated. During the match hold today, China Open 2019 Kerber VS Local player Zhang. Zhang’s teamnot allow the fans cheer up for Angie. Zhang’s coach, her dad and mom threaten them even insulting. After match one of her team beat a fan only 19 yro. pic.twitter.com/fbnvSyRmNz

Hasn't this happened there before? I swear I remember stories about it happening several times in the past. IMO they need to ax this tournament from the schedule.
