‘It’s like the KKK!’ Lisa Oldfield goes viral on social media after an old clip of her calling the Real Housewives of Sydney ‘privileged white people’ resurfaces amid BLM movement
An old clip from The Real Housewives of Sydney has gone viral on Twitter due to its criticism of white privilege.
In the clip, which is from a 2017 episode of the now cancelled reality show, Lisa Oldfield jokingly compares her cast members to the Ku Klux Klan.
Lisa, 45, makes the remark after she shows up to a luncheon dressed in black, despite the dress code requesting all white.

‘When privileged white people get together dressed in white it’s like the KKK!’
The clip was shared by a fan on Twitter, who captioned it: ‘This will never not be iconic.’

In just two days, the tweet has already earned almost 27,000 retweets and 75,000 likes, while the clip itself has over 700,000 views.
While Lisa’s remark was made in jest, it’s resonated with people due to the current Black Lives Matter movement and increased focus on race issues.
Despite going viral, some Twitter users have also pointed out Lisa’s own problematic history when it comes to race.

The political party has been criticised for its nationalist policies and anti-immigration stance.
