American comedian Eric Andre accused Melbourne Airport of racial profiling after being singled out for a dog sniffing check.

Melbourne Airport responded, denying any racism and stating that they asked government agencies to investigate the incident.

Some local residents, including those of East African descent, supported Andre’s claims, citing similar experiences.
