RIGHT wing Canadian Youtuber Lauren Southern has criticised “Asian only” share house listing as she landed in Sydney ahead of her planned talk this weekend.
Ms Southern posted a photo of an ad for a flatmate she encountered on a street post which asked for the eligible applicant to be “Asian only”.
“Just got to Sydney and already seeing the lovely impacts of multiculturalism,” she posted on Twitter on last night.

After copping criticism from the Twittersphere over her post she hit back.
“They could just do business with everyone instead of having an extremely tribalistic in group preference that segregates them from the rest of the population … doesn’t seem like that’s happening though which makes it pretty fair for the host nation to be sceptical.”
Ms Southern, who has 580,000 subscribers to her YouTube channel, was fined $67,000 by Victorian police after left-wing protesters disrupted her talk in Melbourne last weekend.
A Spokeswoman for Victorian Police said Ms Southern had been asked to pay for the police presence as she was required to do under legislation.
“As per the Victoria Police (fees and charges) Regulations 2014, Victoria Police has the right to charge any event organiser for the use of police resources,” the spokeswoman said.
“Victoria Police does not disclose the cost of engaging our services, or the private discussions held as part of the arrangements.”
Sky News host Andrew Bolt said during an interview with Ms Southern last week that the $67,000 police bill was a “shakedown” against conservative speakers.
“Why don’t they send this to the bullies and the thugs instead of the victims?
“They make it too frightening or expensive for conservatives to hold meetings.
“The Victorian government must approve this harassment … This is a shakedown in the state of Victoria.”
Ms Southern is charging up to $749 for tickets to her event in Sydney on Saturday.
