Two Black sisters were traveling from Grand Cayman Island on an airplane when they had their 'first encounter with a racist' when a woman profiled them in a text message captured in this video from January 15.

The woman, identified as being older, was initially kind to the sisters when a flight attendant informed the older woman to place her bag under the seat for takeoff, thanking the sisters for clarifying.

A zoomed-in shot of her large font shows that she was texting someone saying that the sisters are "two very large, dolled up black ladies" that were "extremely hostile" and she said the sisters made "Serena Williams look twiggy."

"We got on the plane, packed our bags away, sat down and she was already there. I was lost for words [when I saw the text] because it was the first time it ever happened to me," the filmer said.
