Viral TikTok prank deemed dehumanising

Australian content creator Jeff Kissubi shared on TikTok that he found the viral trend dehumanised and mocked the indigenous man's features for entertainment purposes while perpetuating harmful stereotypes towards the community.

"This is not a gimmick. This is not a joke. This is a real person we're talking about who has a life, a history, a story, and an identity.

"The trend is exposing this idea of reducing the life of an individual as a punchline."

Internet laughs at TikTok prank

TikTokkers who saw the couple's video rushed to the comment section with laughter, presumably unaware of how controversial the prank had become.

Many others joked about the man's reaction to seeing Eric on his screen.
