Trevor Noah accused of racism
Trevor Noah has been accused of racism following a comment he made about Africa having won the world cup.
On hi The Daily Show, Trevor congratulated France but pointed out their victory was because of the number of black players on the team.
“I get it, they have to say it’s the French team,” Trevor said during the segment. “But look at those guys. You don’t get that tan by hanging out in the south of France, my friends.
“Basically if you don’t understand, France is Africans’ backup team. Once Senegal and Nigeria got knocked out, that’s who we root for.”
Fans did not take this lightly and took to Twitter to react.

@Trevornoah Hey Trevor, I'm a big French fan of yours. But seriously, Africa won the world cup??? Is that the same when the US Basket Ball team wins the Olympic or when the US relay team wins the gold medal? You're worth far more better than that…

Not funny at all. I should say racist meme.
France is France. French people are French people.
What if, when American black people win something, you'd say bravo Africa?
You would immediately be fired, fo4 sure.— Eric 🌍🌿🙏🇪🇺 (@eric7764) July 17, 2018
