Netizen lain menilai ucapan ini menggambarkan paradigma jawasentris yang dipadu dengan rasisme, sambil menyindir kualitas gelar doktor atau profesor kehormatan Megawati.

"The speech on Papua is based on ignorance, Java-centrism, and a touch of racism. If this woman can get "Honorary Doctorate" for simply existing, so can you.

Netizen lain yang juga seorang komika ternama Abdurrahim Arsyad bahkan mendukung rakyat Papua untuk merdeka, akibat ucapan yang diduga dianggap rasis tersebut.
