Thanks for the incredible interview Matt. I was so important to listen to Kween. Historic and institutional racism against First People (Aboriginals) is endemic in Australia.

I think the key word is 'historical' which is important to know. But there's not much we can do now other than treat each other as human beings and leave that horrible mess in the past so we can move forward.

What a classy Kween! I’ve worked in clubs with many of the queens from the first 2 seasons of drag race for many years. It’s so wonderful having the powerhouse Ms Kong explain the behind the scenes editing conversations. I wasn’t aware of that. I am also so proud that Kween has once again distinguished Hannah (and I’ll add Karen From Finance) from the queen who shall not be named from S1. A lot of Drag Race fans fail to distinguish real drama from problematic queens to queens who come from sheltered backgrounds who better themselves once they move away, evolve and take the time to move forward into a positive & integrated community. That’s a huge distinction. Hannah had evolved years before Drag Race and was not intentionally hateful to begin with. We all have to leave room for people to evolve otherwise what is the point in trying? And only way to progress this conversation for fans has to be done via production. I really appreciate being presented with one of the most meaningful discussions about Drag Race Down Under on KZbin by an international KZbin channel. The chorus of ‘DRDU sucks’ and “ all Aussie Drag Race queens are racist” isn’t progressing real change in the community. Conversations with queens of colour from our actual community will, so I hope that production is still listening…

Missed the point by 🤏🏻 that much

[@nicolorange]

@@BoeHawt I'm sorry I didn't mean to. Can you elaborate please?

[@nicolorange]

@@BoeHawt so no elaboration? If I missed the point I want to know what I missed. What's the point in belittling me if you aren't going to explain? Just makes the divide even bigger because I end up thinking there's no point that I missed 🤷🏻
