SARASOTA, FL (WWSB) - An African-American family came to Sarasota for a relaxing vacation. Instead, family members say they were victims of a racially insensitive slur at their upscale hotel when someone left a racist note in their room.
The family claims it's a case of "vacationing while black."
"And I went and looked at the lamp and looked at the note and was shocked. The note says, 'You're a n*****.'"
Davis says it's the first time he's experienced racism like this since the 1960s. His family took immediate action and confronted the general manager and even called Sarasota Police, who filed a report, but Davis says they took no action.
"They basically touted that it was a free speech incident and not a formal criminal matter."
