“I just want to tell you guys: She played well and this is her first Grand Slam.”
Serena Williams defended Naomi Osaka, the first Japanese woman to win a Grand Slam singles event, after a controversial game penalty at the U.S. Open.
Yall really fake for not letting everyone know shes Haitian AND Japanese…
Naomi Osaka and Her sister Mari both play professional tennis. They
embrace their Haitian part of their heritage and it is important that we do not allow
their blackness to be erased by the media.
Yes she had to correct a reporter when he neglected purposely to bring up her Hatian heritage. She is proud to represent both her Japanese and Haitian heritage
^^^^^^^
Yeah all these posts just calling her Asian is so disrespectful tho
I didn’t know either but I do think it’s because she was representing Japan in the tournament so headlines that only mention Japan/her being Japanese makes sense. It would be fucked yo if the actual articles failed to mention her being Haitian as well
