Oscar Peterson subjected to racism at home
Unless the idiots were insulting his piano skills, or his jazz music, it’s probably safe to assume they were racist slurs. However, Mrs. Peterson apparently discounted the racism angle, so who knows…? Actual quotes from Oscar Peterson use the word racism.

Legendary Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson says he is being subjected to racial taunts and slurs at his Toronto-area home.
“A bunch of idiots have been driving by in a car yelling obscenities at me,” Peterson told CTV Toronto in an exclusive interview.
The 81-year-old said he is disheartened and stunned that the insults include racial remarks.
Peterson said his attempt to live a quiet and peaceful life in suburban Mississauga has been invaded during the month-long campaign.
