Just My Two Cents ...
If Serena was purple, and if the official was green, Serena was still wrong, and she should have been penalized as she was.
Sitting here at my computer with my male white privilege on full display, along with my white Irish guilt, I believe that race, and/or gender, had very little to do with the situation. "Soft warning"? Sounds like the equivalent of our stop sign, I'll let the tennis guys deal with that.

If she had pulled that stunt on a basketball court, she would receive one technical foul for calling me a thief, and for the demand that I apologize, SEE, YOU, LATER. I don't care that she's black and female, if she was a white man or a fa'afafine (a Samoan man who believes that he is a woman and acts like one) she would be getting the same treatment from me for acting like a jerk and questioning my integrity.

Thief ...
Quote:
"Thief for stealing a point", by itself, he, she, black, white, brown, gay, straight, Irish, Italian, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Native American, Indian, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, tall, short: all would be sitting on the cold bus in the parking lot. "Apologize". Ejection? No way. It's a throw away comment, so I would simply walk away. I would walk away mad, but I would just walk away (with apologies to the Three Stooges).

That was egregious unsporting behavior in any color. That isn't standing up to a man. That is acting like you don't have to play by the same rules as everyone else.
