Trevor Noah responds to backlash after comments on racist reactions to the new UK PM

[Bill Clitnon]

You can't be racist if you had a white father then?

Exactly. Not sure why people think you can't be racist if you're a hybrid. Trevor seems to think the same as well.

I'd hope no one's stupid enough to define inability to say a person's name as racist. And that doesn't help the Noah outragers.

You couldn’t be more wrong.

I happened to see this clip because it popped up on YouTube likely because of some algorithm and many others watching it.

Outside of that I’ve not seen or heard Trevor Noah since he first started doing the daily show so many years ago because by and large all things America don’t really appeal to me.

Just a couple of posts ago you seemed very sure of yourself, even had some expert anecdotal evidence, knew the British populace well, how many racists there are, the US media, you were very familiar with Trevor Noah's career and thinking ...

Now not so much.

All the other comments have nothing to do with him or his career.

As a well known South African public figure, much like Elon Musk or Mark Shuttleworth or Nelson Mandela and so on everyone from SA is likely to know more than a little bit of common knowledge about it as I’ve evidenced alongside many others in this thread.

Stop pretending to be stupid.

Apparently his family and grandparents left a region of the subcontinent that is now within the borders of Pakistan

So is Trevor and his simp lying, or is Piers and Javid lying?

Probably should have added some context - it's from a journalist who writes somewhat in a satirical manner.

Your problem is using black and white terms like lying and seeing the world as such.

Everyone has opinions, nobody has facts.

'Noah's close friend Joe' kinda gave that away - or should have.

This thread and the article attached to it is about Trevor Noah who is lying and got called out by prominent British people.

So your problem is lack of comprehension and not being able to answer a simple question because you are skimping for someone because your world view is derived from the propaganda he is paid to spread.

For you to realize that he is lying means that you have to admit that you have been lying to yourself.

So you will keep lying and we will keep going in circles.

 

[Oldfut]

I'm guessing in SA terms the thread should be "Noah pulls the race card".

Trevor only has one joke - fact.

RIP.
Oh dear wrong thread. Sorry Jeremy.

Actually the defensive responses to a comedian shows that there's something underneath. It's not like mainstream Britain is going to openly admit to discomfort over a PM of colour.

Ss people not being openly against the new PM actually means they are racist.

Your logic:
Saying you don't want a Paki prime minister = racist.
Saying you don't care about the prime minister's skin colour = being colour blind = marginalising blackness= racist
Saying nothing = white silence = racist

The only thing that would probably exonerate a person from racism would be to get on your knees and give the new PM a BJ, but even them some leftist would say that you would be sexualising black bodies therefore you are racist.
