How do you even know I'm white?

Serena behaving appallingly on the tennis court should be punished, (as it should for everyone), without fear for the umpire of being called either racist or sexist.

Being white or male should not prevent a person from stating that opinion and in fact I think it's important that we don't live in a world where people can't question if something actually is racist when that is the (unfounded) accusation being thrown around on twitter. This kind of thing can ruin a person, eg this umpire who was merely applying the rules.

Serena was recently complaining that being drug tested regularly was racist, despite Federer being tested more.

We can't just shout racism as soon as ANYTHING happens to a person from a minority, as that undermines the whole issue.
