You are talking about the second one now? I grant you the first one
seems racist to me too. Though I don't think I am any kind of
authority on racism.

The second one -- Oliphant --  does belittle her and might strike me
as sexist if I hadn't seen that photo. Seriously, she looked like a
six year old getting a birthday present. If those are in fact her
mannerisms, it's legitimate comment.  I don't see racist in it. But
what do other people think?
