"Serena Williams returns to racist Indian Wells, California"

I don't remember hearing about this shit, but I've never really kept up with tennis. I just finished watching the Jack Johnson documentary "Unforgivable Blackness", so the shit really hit home that in 2001 white folks were still on this kinda shit.

The crowd not only booed Serena and yelled racial slurs, they also booed her sister Venus and their father.
