When Raj is invited to join the Tennis Club committee, he at first balks at the idea, then decides to make it his mission to "darken" up the TC, which only had a few non-white members. During an interview with a prospective new members, Raj utters an unfortunate comment, which is seen as a racial slur. This will have lasting impact on Raj's participation in the committee but also in his career. Timely and intriguing.
