An incident involving a touring pop star and a TVNZ journalist has been called out as "prime-time racism".
In our new weekly series MediaScrap, Vaughan Smith examines the most colourful - and sometimes horribly awkward - moments to play out across New Zealand screens.
This week, we look at Tim Wilson's incredibly cringey touching of international pop star Khalid's hair in a new segment Smith's dubbed "prime-time racism".
In it, Wilson interviews Khalid on camera before the topic turns to the star's hair and Wilson whispers: "Can I touch it?"
He then says, "Oh it's so soft, it's lovely," while Khalid awkwardly thanks him.
