Its the primary reason. But its understandable, because white women are (did someone say universally?) accepted as being beautiful. Serena is just a girl from the ghetto. She could never hold a candle to a white woman.

Yeah, Beyonce with her skin bleaching makeup and advertisement, her hazel-colored eye contacts and blonde wigs. Of course she is beautiful, as long as she keeps herself looking like a tan white woman.

White supremacy.

So are there any blonde white women that you consider beautiful?

Bombshell: Not everything negative said about Serena has to do with race.

So every time a black girl's looks and a white girl's looks are compared if I choose the white girl it has to be because of her colour?
Why make it about this again? Nobody said any white girl is prettier than Serena.
We're talking about Sharapova. Can't it simply be because people think she is better looking regardless of her colour?

Not everyone sees Serena as the "girl from the ghetto". You're seeing racism where it doesn't exist.

Enough. If you want to have a discussion on race, take it to nontennis and start a thread there about race and media imagery. It's an interesting subject, and there is much room for fruitful discussion.

This thread, however, is about pictures of tennis players at offcourt events. Black ones, white ones, Asian ones, Latina ones, tall ones, short ones, willowy ones and thick ones.

Please get back on topic. (Yes, I know I helped veer off topic, my bad). Thank you.

Why are you making this about you? I don't know you, and I've never commented on your personal preferences. You sound like you are trying to defend the virtue of all white people by showing that you hold an alternative opinion. That doesnt make white supremacy any less real because YOU feel differently. Stop being so myopic.

I'm speaking in general terms, which many posts in this thread (and others in GM) have highlighted over the past two days.

So this is OK:

Also, this has nothing to do with Sharapova or any other blonde bombshells out there.

The amazing thing about her is that she becomes "pretty" in our eyes because of her accomplishment and champion's aura. That's what makes her shine. Take that away and she will just be your average girl from the ghetto. So for her to reach reach that quality is a massive accomplishment.

But comments about the white supremacy that underpin this statement are inappropriate for the thread?
You are so full of shit.

Wow, all you see is race. I feel bad for you. This is subtle and hidden racism at its finest

[NashaP]

And btw, beyonce is considered beautiful because she has a GORGEOUS face. One of the prettiest in hollywood.

You're not even a real poster, you're a troll POS, so you're not worth a legitimate response other than, "Fuck off"

The fact I used "I" in a sentence doesn't make it about me. I don't express the opinion of all white people and I don't think I do.
But why do you think you know what most people's preference is based on?

The discussion here was about the fact people consider Sharapova better looking than Serena.
I never said that the belief of the white supremacy doesn't exist, I just said I don't think this is the case here. I was talking about something very specific.
You said you think the main reason people consider Sharapova more attractive is her skin colour.
You don't represent most people's opinion, you can't really know why they prefer her, you're just overgeneralising.

Sorry for all the off topic.
