Serbia's Dejana Radanovic hits a return next to teammate Nikola Cacic during their mixed doubles match against Australia's Storm Hunter and Matthew Ebden at the United Cup tennis tournament in Perth on January 3, 2024.

Another post in Munich, Germany read, "Hello civilization. Only those who have experienced something like India for 3 weeks can understand the feeling."

Radanovic, who is from Serbia, addressed the comments that she was racist by saying she was simply commenting about the country itself, not its people. 

"I didn’t like India – the country," she wrote on another Instagram Story. "I didn’t like the food, traffic, hygiene (worms in the food, yellow pillows and dirty bed linen in the hotel, not knowing how to use roundabout etc.)

"If you come to my country, Serbia, and you don’t like all those same things, that means you are a racist??? What the hell that has to do with racism?! I have friends all nationalities and colors so don’t go there cause it’s an absolute NONSENSE!"

Radanovic continued with her Stories, saying she enjoyed the people of India. 

Radanovic gave an example of a man who "drove us on tuk-tuk- to courts every day," someone that she had dinner with and "had a nice time."

Others on social media, though, took Radanovic’s words in a different light. 

"Coming from a white person this reeks of racism," one X user posted. "Nobody forced you to drink tap water. Drink mineral one or from an aquaguard, pretty cheap. Wash the fruits/vegetables. Nobody is asking you to lick them raw from roadside. You lack the brains, the country is fine."
