It's almost the end of 2019 and racism is still alive and kicking. So is meme culture and the ability of people to turn an ugly racist flag-pulling incident into an iconic hashtag: #ItsTooStrongForYouKaren. Love the response, hate what brought us here.Today's full Fast 5 agenda also includes:#1 Billie Eilish has topped Triple J's 2019 Album poll, but what does that mean for the Hottest 100 (which opened votes today)?#2 A racist couple tried to pull down an Indigenous artist's flag, and the public outrage has been crazy - sparking trends #ItsTooStrongForYouKaren and #ShadesOfDeadly across the socials. We are HERE for it.#3 Festival-goers are outraged that the Lost Paradise Music Festival announced it will be cancelled due to the threat of bushfires in surrounding regions, but is that fair?#4 We're in absolute disbelief over some of the amendments that ScoMo and his government have made to a Religious Freedom [read: discrimination] Bill, let's try to wrap our head around it all.#5 Matt Agnew posted about a meteor shower and some fans reckon it's a cryptic love letter to Abbie - but we think it's time to let it go.This week's episode is hosted by Gordon D'Mello and Georgina Noack, and was produced by Georgina Noack.
