Trevor Noah Apologises for ‘Racist’ Joke on India-Pak Tensions

Trevor Noah slammed for racist and discriminatory jibes amidst escalating tension between India and Pakistan.

Comedian and The Daily Show host Trevor Noah, who was recently slammed for saying that a potential military conflict between India and Pakistan would be “the most entertaining war of all times”, apologised for his comments on Sunday, 3 March.

In a tweet, Noah said that he uses comedy to “process pain and discomfort in his world” but was sorry that it hurt others.

Actually if you watch my stand up you'll see that I did make jokes after my mother was shot in the head. As a comedian I use comedy to process pain and discomfort in my world but I am sorry that this hurt you and others, that's not what I was trying to do. https://t.co/OuVnkHyIfG
