Apparently a guy fell out with a girl after finding out she only had about 1k of insta followers whereas he had more than 10k of followers. His rationale was that of she was HOT she wud have more followers... Like himself ! I am assuming they have not met each other before. I read this online. Some anonymous post on NUSwhispers or crap like that. Most probably some fake story la - don't believe any of it at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToyotaShuttle 5th Gear June 12, 2020 Share June 12, 2020 14 hours ago, Macrosszero said: https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/reality-tv/masterchef-2020-sarah-tiong-slams-triple-m-for-racism/news-story/60f547fca7ecc280aad65537279a6a47 Recently evicted MasterChef star Sarah Tiong has called out radio station Triple M for racism after a “shocking” on-air moment this morning. Ahead of her chat with hosts from Triple M Sunraysia, Sarah revealed she was greeted by one presenter who said “ni hao ma”. She took to Instagram shortly after to tell fans she felt “uncomfortable and shocked” following the “tone deaf” incident. “This is racism. What an insensitive, tone deaf thing to say. Please, check yourself and do better,” she wrote on her Instagram stories. When questioned further by followers regarding the exchange, Sarah explained why the interaction was “privileged and ignorant”. “It is racist to assume I identify as Chinese and speak the Chinese language,” she stated. “Even if I have referenced such heritage or knowledge in the past, it is privileged and ignorant to assume anything about me based on the colour of my skin. It is rude and privileged to assume that I understand that Asian language, just because I appear of that descent.” Sarah then revealed that the morning radio host had queried whether “it would be lei ho ma?” “The mere presumption that I speak or want to speak Mandarin or Cantonese with you,” Sarah said, “followed by the flippant dismissal of distinguishing the two different languages is racist. It is dehumanising. And no … ‘My partner is Asian’ is not an excuse for your racism.” MasterChef judge Melissa Leong backed Sarah up in her own Instagram story, reminding fans that this experience “is a mere daily occurrence for many POC.” “It is not funny, or clever. It just illustrates how deep rooted racial toxicity is in this country, and anyone with a voice in media should know better,” she posted. It comes after Immigration Minister Alan Tudge named Australian-born MasterChef judge Melissa as his best example of why Australia is not racist because she’s “Chinese” and “hugely popular”. Despite the fact that the star of the new MasterChef program was born in Sydney nearly 40 years ago, Mr Tudge has insisted she’s an example of why 99.9 per cent of Australians abhor racism. Melissa, 38, was born to Singaporean parents with a Chinese background and has spoken out repeatedly about “casual racism” and racist trolls that attacked her after she first joined the program. While a spokesman said she was “fine” with being described by Mr Tudge as ethnically Chinese despite being born in Sydney, she warned Australia had a long way to go. Melissa Leong said, “Australia has a long way to go” in the face of diversity and inclusivity. “While I am proud to play a small part in the changing face of diversity and inclusivity in Australian media, let me be clear in saying that we are so very far from where we need to be,’’ Melissa told news.com.au. “Whether it’s our ancient indigenous heritage or more recent multicultural contribution, representation of the different abled, or those who are fighting to be accepted for how they identify, or loving who they love, it is clear that we all need and deserve to feel seen and be heard. It is my hope in these difficult times that we can and will bring about lasting and positive change in this regard.” When contacted by Triple M, a spokesperson told news.com.au: “Triple M Sunraysia unreservedly apologises for the offence caused by comments made to Sarah Tiong off-air this morning.” What a loon. I can also say anyone who speaks to me in English is racist as it assumes I understand English? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think that is a concern at all. There are all sorts of loons with fringe ideas out there. The real concern is that the radio station had to apologize to her. It signifies that their listeners also believe in this bullcrap. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years later, i met her in person. She is NOT GD native. Reminds me of a joke. Last time a senior nurse was telling me a story in Cantonese about her experience. She was animated when talking to me. Then someone came and interrupted her saying why are you talking to him in Cantonese. He doesnt understand Cantonese. She glared at me. I explained that I UNDERSTAND Cantonese but for some unknown reason I cannot SPEAK cantonese so I will reply in English. Not sure how to explain it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
