Whether it’s UK politics or The Little Mermaid, racists have been vocal about their thoughts on diversity. Luckily, so has Trevor Noah. #TDSThrowback #DailyShow #Comedy

Only TREVOR 😂😂😂 can get away with this ❣️ it!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The lord of the rings critique is difficult I think. Because Lord of the rings is not an American thing, but also hugely an European. And the factual accuracy is right when criticising the cast, because Lord of the Rings is based on the second WW.
You can compare the maps.
It is the right desition for a series that is filmed nowadays, totally. But it is likely right, that JRRTolkin did not intend any of the characters to be colored. But maybe somebody finds the verse to proof he did 😊
And they say you’re not my big brother 😂😂😂 Re bo botlhe braq🇿🇦 ❤
I can listen to trevor all day
Content of character and not the colors of peoples skin. Remember thr Roma empire?
I so miss his beautiful face, his smiling eyes, his wonderful wit, and his deep love for humanity in a world that often doesn’t respect his. I could watch him 24/7 and never tire of him. He gives me hope that people will watch him and learn how to laugh and love and learn to leave their racism aside. Live long and prosper my brother.
Love you Noah 🤝❤️
I really don't want say much but this person need to look back in History and see how dark English or any European person looked decades ago yesss even in Russia and yesss Japan 🎉❤
This is why I've been telling people about Trevor Noah He is really real wow. Dark skinned Elf person Smmfh😢😢😮😮can't wait until his next stand up
Love you Trevor Noah!!!💙✨️
Yeah because blacks werent in middle ages as the Moors running the entire continent for well over seven hundred years changing the complexity of europe
If you don’t get his jokes , it’s on you. He is brilliant.
I disagree with Trevor Noah here. You can’t see the forest for the trees. If you are an American then you’re an American. The French ambassador was not being racist. You were. He was saying that people from France are French. You are saying that “no, they are black Frenchmen”. So, you then use the “n” word to making sure that everyone knows it’s okay for you to be racist. Can’t you see that the tint of someone’s skin color doesn’t matter? Are you always going to use the fact that you are black to draw attention to yourself?
It is a pleasure to watch and listen to your performance. Elegant, and most of all so educated and intelligent. Knowledge of history and geopolitics is gratifying and makes your sketches all the more convincing . WONDERFUL!
just the words "French government" made the crowd laugh
Elves😜 are not real they are 🤣FICTIONAL … how and what delusional world do you live in😂
(this is koo-koo
🤪 Trevor) well said ‘TN’
For the record, there were Black people in medieval Europe. For more on this, enter that into Youtube search bar. And not all Black people were in completely subservient positions either. Now, were there Black elves? PEOPLE! Either elves are imaginary or they are spirits. In either case, "race" which is an invention of 19th century racists, ISN'T relevant.
They tried to do that with Annie too when they crossed over with a black girl did anybody forget that how dare they make this curly redhead child of black person who got hair like wool already they didn't have to make it that way
Hey Trevor there are Characters called The Black Knight and The Black Widow….according to your argument they should have been played by black actors in the movies…just saying…
trevor noah? the same racist guy who said that the French soccer team which won the worldcup was representing africa because they were black .. right? …one of the most racist comment of recent years displaying also his complete ignorance about the composition of the French society. And his answer shows that he still didn't understand it even after had read the letter with a ridiculous french accent…
As a french citizen I would like to comment about the reaction to the the French ambassador letter: First of all, making fun of a guy who isn't there to defend himself isn't very fair. Especially on such a delicate subject. Anyway, as far as the actual subject is concerned, I just think you're talking about different things. The French ambassador, unsurprisingly given his position, is talking about nationalities. And it's certain that these players are French, and only French. That doesn't mean that France is asking them to forget their roots and culture. It means that "France" is written on their passports. That's all it means.
For his part, Trevor, of whom I'm a big fan, approaches the subject from the angle of the ethnicity and/or race. Which is a common approach in US as the racial question is never very far from any conversation. But this approach is never prioritized in France, which explains the ambassador reaction. I don't say there is no racism problems in France ; but as numbers of my fellow citizens I believe race is not the problem. Poverty is. French nation is founded on the idea that the main cement is to be french wherever you are coming from. While US nation is founded on the idea various people, from various origins and background can live together. Of course, both are totally respectable. But there is a slight difference and I think this is this slight difference that appears here.
He climbed to save a baby as an African came down as a French
Always love Ronny and glad to see him still on the daily show.
Meanwhile, I really miss Roy and wish the Daily Show had kept him around. Roy has always been funny, and thoughtful and interesting to listen to.
I also miss Trevah! very much.
It's a pathway to wokeness…when you open a window..next is open the whole door….just look at the 'brown snow white'….I mean come on Trevor…dont play dumb.
Would it be fair to contend a percentage of U.S. movie goers totally lack the imagination to incorporate a few variations of skin color into a movie that's based on magic and fantasy to begin with.
French ambassador's message is correct. That’s what the right wing party tries to say that only white people are French. Trévor probably does not understand French culture.
Medieval Europe had Blacks. Who do they think was stroking Neanderthals to produce them? Look at their teeth and visage from way back then.
No black people in medieval times? Even if they weren't prevalent, I'm sure there are either 1 or 2 people who are black at that point in time.
Yes, but the Little Mermaid story itself is questionable for black people…….a girl that wants to be something other than she was born to be…and to marry a white prince…..not a parellel to the black experience at all?
Maybe the US should make England one of our colonies……that would solve all of their problems…racial and all! LOL
Love the honestly and wisdom. We are many things and backgrounds as citizens in our countries.
Ironically there actually were black people in midevil Europe.
What a treasure Trevor was in that chair. And now they have a handful of other potential amazing hosts who are filling in. I love them all, but my vote is for Desi Lydic. Or Ronny Cheng. Oh wait, or Jordan or Michael… (Actually, Desi. Trevor reminds us how important context/POV is, and having a woman in that chair would bring a fresh one. Ronny would, too, but we've already had plenty of male hosts. Or keep 'em all. We'll still watch.)
Trevor is so intelligent, he knows how to speak to make people understand how he feels without anger and nasty words!! Great job Mr. Trevor Noah!!❤
Wait until Disney reboots the original trilogy and Luke Skywalker is the opposite of white. As a human being, I can't wait!
Great stuff. For clarity, Tolkien owned his bias when confronted. He admitted and even began including diversity in his later writings.
2:56 This segment is great !
paul pogma is black ..he justs speaks french
I kind of agree with their points about France but I think is hypocritical coming from a country (USA) where most blacks are, actually, mixed and deny their whitness.
Me wondering if Trevor would be so defensive of their africanness if it would be all white south African players in the french team.
"The African dropped the baby…" he nailed it!
