Caitlin Clark has responded to Serena Williams’ “white people” joke following an eventful ESPY Awards ceremony.

The former tennis star, who hosted the event on Thursday night, made several jokes, including one about Clark’s white fans.

“Caitlin Clark had an amazing year and is nominated for three awards,” Williams said. “Caitlin, you are the Larry Bird in that you are an amazing player, you have ties to Indiana, and white people are really crazy about you.”

As expected, not everyone found it funny, with some considering it divisive.

Clark, however, didn’t have any issues with the quip and praised Williams for her hosting job.

“Obviously, Serena did a tremendous job hosting,” Clark told reporters, per Athlon Sports.

Caitlin Clark Wondered Out Loud How Serena Williams Wasn’t The First Woman To Win The Best Record-Breaking Performance Award At The ESPYs

Clark also expressed the view that Serena Williams should have been the first female to win the ESPY for Best Record-Breaking Performance.

“Yeah, I didn’t know that until my little brother sent it to me this morning. I think it’s pretty cool,” she said. “It probably shouldn’t have taken this long for a woman to win that award, in my eyes. I grew up supporting so many different female athletes I idolized and loved. The amount of records I’ve seen broken—how did Serena Williams never win that award? It’s crazy.”

Clark won the accolade on the night, becoming the first female ever to do so, and also secured the Best Women’s College Athlete Award. She was also nominated for the Best Women’s Athlete Award, but that honor went to Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson.
