Indigenous actor Shareena Clanton has accused long-running soap
Neighbours of being a “culturally unsafe place” where the N-word and other racially charged terms were bandied around in the name of humour. Ms Clanton, whose heritage includes Wongatha/Yamatji and Noongar/Gitja on her mother’s side and Etowah Cherokee, Blackfoot and African American on her father’s side, said that calling out the language and behaviour she encountered on the show “often left me ostracised and further marginalised”.
