Are you seriously claiming Britney Spears has never been mocked?

Being that this is a tennis match, I don't know how Britney Spears would fit into the scenario, but still....if you are implying that white women celebrities aren't mocked all the time, I really have to ask if you've been in a coma for some length of time?
