King Richard - racist against whites


Example - most whites at tennis clubs played by blondes. Trying to create an unnecessary contrast? Not all white people are blonde.

Then whites cheating by calling "out" when it wasn't?

Then some sponsors sit down and the first thing "King Richard" says is "I appreciate everyone taking their hoods off"... excuse me? The whites who have let his daughters play, coached them and now want to offer them money are KKK?

He then mocks them and eventually farts on them.

Where was the scene where he says "Your people created a game, provided public courts for us to practice, coached my girls for free and now you want to make them millionaires? Thank you".

I don't think we were supposed to be cheering for Richard in those scenes. I think it's pretty obvious that everyone was being nice to him and he was being an asshole, and I think the writer(s) wanted us to get that.

Yeah he's no king.

He was deceptive and manipulative.

Oh please. if you want to see racism that's exactly what you'll see, it always works.

There are a lot of black folks who need to hear that message.
