Oh no! Children were not distributed following a perfectly Gaussian distribution based on the colour of their skin! I bet a similar picture with only three white kids in the corner would have been a white supremacy conspiracy meeting against the poor black kids.

In my school the children segregated themselves. Was very rare for them to mix, even with the freedom to choose.

Wow! People of the the same race prefer to sit with one enother. SHOCKER!

Maybe they chose to sit like that. Like animals, humans prefer to be around their own kind.

😤😤😤😤😤😤

Oops!

Circle the ones whos parents are killing the other kids parents.

Dude, there's like a brown kid right behind that girl with the pink water bottle!!! FakeNews

This was shortly before they killed some of the white children and took their seats.

So according to journalists this is a real issue but the murders of white farmers is not?

How can u not tell when something is clicking, They even got the circle in the thumbnail so we know where to look.

Go round to the NT and take some photos of the inequality there. Their own race are in charge, ANC can fix it if it’s real. As a minority, Aborigines have no recourse. As so many here said, click bait and sort your own mess out before you criticise from a position of ignorance.

Fake news

Pre-apartheid South Africa ran a lot better than it does now.

Now report on the black on white minority violence.

What about photographs of dead, mutilated Boer farmers? What wounds do those open?

This doesn't matter. There are farm murders going on. Rape and murder off the charts. Focus on what matters, for once.

trying to find something wrong or unnatural here

and what about the killings of white people in SA

Boy, you guys must be desperate to find a way to 'justify' those land seizures and murders of white farmers.

fakenews show ALL the photos ABC?

As a nation we incarcerate Aboriginal people at a higher rate than an Apartheid South Africa did, soooooooo maybe we should think about that before we all take the high moral ground as a Nation !

maybe they're friends or related ...why make something out of nothing ...it would be good to hear what the kids say about it?

we could've avoided this problem all together..... by not bringing them here in the first place. there's a whole continent they can go back to where they don't have to worry about 'segregation' if their feelings are so hurt.

Nothing wrong with it. Segregation is better for everyone, it's more ethical. But the picture is out of context

And other photos of the same class playing together.

Really? In 2019? I feel disgusted just reading about it?

Systematic murder of White South Africans and ABC is silent! One photo 'appears' to show black children sitting alone and morally superior ABC pontificates with its Apartheid narrative 'outrage in country still grappling with racism' ABC: Deliberately Concealing White Genocide!

Targeted government oppression and murder of white south africians: ABC sleeps No context picture that could be spun as segregation: ABC in outrage mode

Not what happened, fake news

hey abc talk about the murders

Did TheirABC just assume the race of the kids sitting at the long table?

I don’t know the South American word for it but in the real America we call that time out

Why do humans always go backward. We deserve the future that is approaching us.

Odd that you are concerned with this but NEVER report on the horrific murders of white farmers 🤔. Considering is FakeNewsMedia this picture is probably a lie.

it's painful. Where are you black south Africa. They butchered our pple&now traumatizing kids. Why can a white rule you at home!

no mention of the murders of white african farmers abc?

Feckin shills

Not included, not allowed to be on their own. Are they allowed to exist at all?

Wow this is really concerning why don't you cover the SA farm murders next

But you never reported on the white genocide happening in South Africa.

Means nothing without proof. Abc crap.

What's sadder is that a spokesperson said it was language related and not what it obviously was.

Seems like the best solution would just be to let Whites run their schools and Blacks run theirs...

There’s currently a genocide going on in SA against white Afrikaans, but no please continue about whites are pure evil because of a classroom set up

GloboHomoCorp How many stories have you run about blacks in South Africa murdering white farmers?

same class, photo taken minutes apart.

fake news

yeah but at least but this way they actually get some teaching done

Not a peep about those murdered farmers though, huh? auspol DingoTwitter

How appalling

Let me guess, the children on the small table speak a different language to the other children in the classroom? If this is how it is easiest for them to learn, let them learn... But a common language is desirable in a classroom atmosphere...

Disgusting

ABC clickbait

This is terrible!

Peter Dutton about to offer asylum to the persecuted children on the right.

Assholes

Meanwhile, in other segregated news TheirABC won't tell you about … Harvard University will hold first ever black only graduation ceremony

Check the facts people - there are more photographs where the kids are happily playing together - but that doesn't that generate clicks...

Shameful if true

This is shocking and disgraceful!

yournewdad94 hittalkers told you

Race baiters. What if the children independently sat apart from one another? No mention. Did adults deliberately assign the seating arrangement? No mention.

South African teacher fights suspension over 'segregated' classThe photo rapidly spread on social media and caused outrage as it showed about 17 white children sitting around a large table, with four black children around a small corner table in the background Was it a social psychology experiment on racism? It’s funny how angry people are about this but would be in support of people advocating for segregated universities like they do in California and Ivy League Honestly SBS, I question your Editors actual existence and over the top Salary. This story is a week old and covered by every Media outlet on earth, and you only just come up with it now?. Get another job, this one’s not working out.
