18-year-old Bronny James was abused for deciding to take his "white" girlfriend to prom.
Bronny James, the son of LeBron James, received hateful racial slurs and threats during his most recent prom date.
The 18-year-old invited Peyton Gelfuso, his alleged girlfriend, to his high school prom.
Gelfuso, a white 19-year-old lady, has also endured a great deal of online abuse from social media.
Some people started claiming that Bronny's date was with him for financial gain, while others said that the young basketball star should have gone with a "black queen."
Bronny and Peyton faced racist hatred even when Bronny went to Peyton's senior prom as a date the previous year.

Even LeBron posted many pictures of Bronny's prom date and appeared to be quite happy with him.
He captioned them, “Lost for words on this one.
“The best prom outfit of ALL TIME. Insane.”
The absence of Peyton from the photos that his mother Savannah James and father LeBron uploaded also caught the attention of the public.
