On Tuesday morning, Kyle Sandilands criticised American celebrity Eric André after the comedian criticised Melbourne Airport for “racial discrimination”.
The 41-year-old Adult Swim star on Monday accused Australian border officials of “racial bias against people of colour” after they stopped and searched him.
Shock host Sandilands slammed Eric during The Kyle and Jackie O Show as a “whiny piece of shit” and insisted the search was not racially motivated.
“You were pulled out of a line with a lot of other people, which is pretty common at all airports, for a random search,” fumed Kyle, 53.
“Nobody gives a shit that you’re black.
‘We don’t behave like that here (Australia). We don’t care what colour your skin is. You are a human being and as such you don’t have any special privileges at an airport.
“We don’t care if you’re brown, white, black or Chinese. We’re all randomly examined.”
Eric expressed his concerns on social media earlier this week after he was stopped and searched at Melbourne Airport.

The writer and producer unleashed a tirade against border officials for singling him out for a random search with sniffer dogs when he landed in the city on Monday.
He said staff stopped him at Terminal 2 after a 25-hour flight from New York via Los Angeles.
“I was taken out of a line and put in a special line in Melbourne where a dog sniffed me thoroughly,” the Florida-born artist explained in an Instagram post.

‘This is one of the many times I have been racially discriminated against at the airport.
‘This is a message to all Black, Brown and Indigenous people travelling through Melbourne today, especially if you are travelling through Qantas International Airport in Terminal Two: be careful.
“They are looking for black, brown and indigenous people.”
The Eric Andre Show host has vowed to never return to Melbourne Airport alone and has asked anyone who books him in the city to also provide a police escort.
