Singer Kamahl was made the subject of racist jokes during appearances on Hey Hey It's Saturday back in the 70s and 80s. He explains why he decided not to hold grudges over it.

Insight, hosted by Kumi Taguchi, is Australia's leading forum for powerful first-person stories offering a unique perspective on the way we live.

Insight first went to air in 1995 and has since been a mainstay of SBS current affairs programming. The team doesn't shy away from taboo topics: from polygamy, to brain implants, to the secrets revealed on the deathbed.

Absolutely no
Especially when it's deeply embedded in some cultures and perpetrators of it don't show remorse for their racist past and racist abusive attitude towards those who are different from them

A wise man. This is how us coloureds navigate the white world. We often make concessions to maintain the status quo.

Stop telling victims they have to forgive the unforgivable.

Kamahl is so lovely! I used to have people comment on how pale I was and they were almost shocked by it....for me I didn't see it as racism but more that I am different compared to most other people. IMO, if you are different, people pass comment and sometimes not complimentary comments. This definitely was a stupid thing they did on Hey Hey, but political correctness wasn't as prevalent then.

If the focus of this segment is whether or not he held a grudge, no wonder Australia has as racist a reputation as it does. What the caller said was reprehensible, and others on the show should have stuck up for him. Australia is a white ethnostate as was intended and this man has to navigate this any way he can.

Absolutely not. I'm sick and tired of being the bigger person.
