[QUOTE="DumbAmerican, post: 914960, member: 77777"] In the media coverage lots of people are talking about Serena's relative lack of privilege based on her gender, race, or class background, and suggesting that this is relevant to how she's treated by umpires. Would a white son of a doctor be treated differently at the US Open? What's actually a way more relevant privilege is that she's the top player in the sport, and I hadn't heard anyone mention that until Mr. Cruz. She's treated differently than other athletes outside the top 10, and has been for literally decades now. [/QUOTE]
