Ilie Nastase’s tone deaf and accused racist comments to Serena Williams regarding Serena Williams caused quite a storm but it seems rather than a straight up apology and acknowledge, he is hell bent on digging a deeper hole for his racist self!
We all know racists just can’t see how they are being racist in many cases because of the depth of their ignorance and it seems that Nastase, who should know better with his long international career, is in that category!
Last friday he remarked of Serena’s unborn child “Let’s see what color it has. Chocolate with milk?” and of course Williams was not happy and shot back in typical Serena style saying “Does My Sassiness Upset You?”
The Grio reported:
In an interview with Romanian website new.ro, he explained, “Anything I say, I am the bad boy. … If I said she would have an ugly, black baby, that would have been racist.”
He then compared his own comments to those of Williams’ father, Richard, who called Irina Spirlea “a big white turkey” in 1997 before he tried to question why people were even reporting about his comments, claiming that they were just trying to hype up hatred.
“Why write a news story like this? Just to have a scandal? There are many more important things going on. … These things are pure madness,” he said.
