An unassuming greeting became the subject of debate overnight after Masterchef Australia finalist Sarah Tiong accused an Australian radio station of being racist — by saying “ni hao ma” (Mandarin for how are you) and “lei ho ma” (Cantonese) to her.

The Sydney-born chef, whose parents hail from Malaysia, posted an Instagram story earlier this week sharing how she felt “uncomfortable and shocked” by how “insensitive” and “tone-deaf” the experience was.
