Sky News host Rita Panahi has slammed New York Governor Kathy Hochul over her “wildly racist” comment about black children in the Bronx.

The Governor has faced backlash for saying black children in the Bronx don't know the word "computer" while speaking to a technology panel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.

"Right now, we have young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word 'computer' is. They don't know these things,” she said.

Ms Hochul later apologised for her comment.

“Talk about the bigotry of low expectations – gross,” Ms Panahi said.
