Hingis should see Watermelon Man to grasp bias
Commentary by John Smallwood criticizes Martina Hingis for saying being black "only helps" the Williams sisters. The piece argues that being Black in America brings many more obstacles than advantages and notes endorsements and achievements show genuine merit, not race. It highlights Serena and Venus Williams, their endorsements after major wins, and defends them against racial assumptions.
