I was just checking this out. Looks like it was something he said in 2013. Wonder why someone is bringing it up now?

From what I gather, the Aboriginal women have been up in arms about it since it happened but no one cared until now.

Well it's a good thing they're finally being heard. I've been a fan of TDS for many years, but stopped watching when Jon left. Never got a good vibe from Trevor Noah, too smug and condescending, no compassion to go with the humor.

He's going on tour in Australia.

That is incredible. I wonder what he is going to do about this.

I think they are called the First Nation nowadays.

Australia has huge issues .

I think they are called First Australians. The First Nations people are Canadian Indians.

It's never really an apology for the act, it's an apology for getting caught.

 

[FlossyMay]

Did he apologize? That's news to me.

You're right.

I guess it is unrealistic to expect a South African whose mother is black to understand anything at all about how people of color are treated.

Or perhaps it is unrealistic to expect a MAN to understand anything at all about how women are treated.

I've never found Trevor Noah to be funny. He was a poor choice to replace Jon Stewart.

I don't care how many years ago he made fun of Aboriginal women or how adamantly he now apologizes - after his vile racist views have been exposed - he clearly thought it was funny then and he's only apologizing now, IMO, because he's been exposed.

Hit the road Trevor - you weren't funny then and you're not funny now. You never deserved to follow in Jon Stewart's footsteps.
