TREVOR NOAH BLASTS UK RACISTS

Trevor Noah, South African comedian and former host of the US satiric news programme, 'The Daily Show,' dismantled racist views in the United Kingdom.

In this 25 October 2022 clip, Noah started by playing a snippet from a phone-in radio programme, 'LBC,' that highlighted how many in Britain are dissatisfied that Rishi Sunak, of South Asian descent, became UK prime minister in 2022. Noah commented that the English colonised countries far away from the British Isles and governed people who didn't look like them, all of which led to a mass migration of non-white people into the United Kingdom.

For context, during the height of the British Empire, it was the largest empire the world had ever seen, covering around a quarter of Earth's land surface and ruling over 458 million people. Something the caller seemed not to be aware of or willing to conveniently ignore.

Noah's defence of Sunak, of course, doesn't negate the impacts of Sunak's anti-asylum policy and plan to privatise the National Health Service, both of which affect Africans and other poor people who migrate in due to the UK's colonial legacy. Nor does it negate Sunak's ardent support for Israel during the latest bombardment of the Gaza Strip, killing over 6,000 civilians.

Let us know what you think of Noah's remarks.
