However she meant it, an Australian morning show host’s comment about a guest’s fair skin has sparked social media backlash and a petition calling for an apology.

Last month, U.K. sisters Maria and Lucy Aylmer appeared on Sunrise, a morning program on Australia’s Channel 7. Although they’re twins, the sisters inherited starkly different looks from their white father and biracial mother. Maria has black, curly hair and darker skin while Lucy has red hair and a pale complexion.

It’s when Sunrise host Samantha Armytage was introducing the two women that things get awkward.

“Maria has taken after her half-Jamaican mum with dark skin, brown eyes and curly, dark hair, but Lucy got her dad’s fair skin – good on her – along with straight red hair and blue eyes,” said Armytage.

Armytage’s cohost, David Koch, also appeared a touch confused at her choice of words.

The bit that viewers — including thousands of people who have now watched the clip online — have taken issue with is “good on her,” an apparent congratulations to Lucy for her light skin. Although the clip is now over a month old, reaction from both the outraged and the defensive are picking up steam.
