And this week Australian reality television has thrown a spotlight on the casual racism and prejudices rife in the industry. Newly eliminated MasterChef contestant Sarah Tiong was greeted by a Triple M radio host saying "ni hao ma" while doing the post show press round leaving Tiong feeling "uncomfortable and shocked".
