Don’t fuck this up, people who craft their opinions from Comedy Central’s Daily Show. Trevor Noah is a perfect follow-on to the Jon Stewart era. There’s some bullshit hullabaloo because somebody dug into his old Tweets and found some jokes he made about fat chicks, Jewish chicks, and lesbians, the holy trinity of the Daily Show demographic. That’s just noise. Trevor Noah is young, African, and about to show America just how stupid and racist and xenophobic it is compared to the rest of the world. His comedy routines in his home country typically consist of stupid stereotypes about Americans being stupid and stereotyping:
The best ignorant conversation I had was in California, in a place called Malibu. There, at the beach, he met a California girl whose questions get more embarrassing as they joke goes on, from “how did you get to America?” to “do you guys have waves in Africa?” to “have you ever had AIDS?”
Dumb American chick. I’m glad they don’t have those in Africa which American ignorance forces me to believe is one large continental collective of disease ridden savannah with relief provided solely by UNICEF and Madonna’s occasional trips to pick up a new baby. At best that’s 70-percent true. Totally ignoring the pockets of rich colonial remnants living in luxury behind their barbed wire compounds. I know Europe conquered and proceeded to fuck up much of Africa. Big whoop. My brother beat me at rock-paper-scissors and took the top bunk during high school. That didn’t encourage me to start slaking my thirst from from rivers with bobbing cadavers.
Trevor Noah is funny and thinks American should be more like shittier countries who have no choice but to care about the rest of the world. He’s perfect.
