Answer:

She may be referring to the racial prejudices brought on Serena

Step-by-step explanation:

Serena Williams is a well decorated American tennis player with a remarkable 23 Grand Slam titles.

There have been many instances in the media where Serena was believed to be called out on the fact that she is African American or her body type is not the typical female.

Some persons believe that the comment is stemmed from those with race privileges or class privileges. Regardless of integration and different protective instruments the victims of racism believe that it will not change the fundamental thinking or beliefs.
