That women of colour face a combination of racism and misogyny

...that is a very toxic cocktail.

And are often not supported by a large section of white women (who are often part of the racism problem) and a large section of BAME men (who are often part of the sexism problem)

And attractive, successful ethnic minority women are brutally targeted, often to the detriment of their me al health. Really glad for Meghan Markle, Serena Williams and Jameela for bringing this to the fore.

Do you agree?

Going back to your original comment, the issue is not that you don’t like her. It is that you have come on a thread about black women dealing with racism and misogyny (I think your suggesting you doubt that is the case but it might be a typo) in order to air your dislike of Serena Williams in a way that invokes the tired “Black Women are Bullies” stereotype. Reality check: you are the one who brought race into it. You could have just thought she not nice and left it at that but you chose to post on here and you chose your words
Me who brought race into it? When it's OP who raise it and asked if we agreed?

This thread has shown exactly how some people choose to turn things around to make anyone to be racist even when they don't say or write anything racist.

The use of words of choice is very telling: 'reality check', ie. your reality, because only your reality is matters, everyone else's is racist!

For those dismissing this as ‘ something created in your head’, do you feel that as a woman you have a different experience to men? Do you think most me understand the difference? If so, why is this so hard to understand?

Most men
