Trevor Noah jokes about white genocide

Trevor Noah delivered another hilarious and insightful episode on the What Now with Trevor Noah Podcast. It was during this recording that he touched on the supposed widespread murder of white farmers and their families in South Africa.

The comedian's show has hosted some of the world's biggest names, from entertainers and CEOs to actors and athletes. After having recently hosted comedian Jon Stewart, Trevor was this time joined by his close friends, Anele Mdoda and Sizwe Dhlomo.

The trio has previously chatted in the podcast, where they've given fans a look inside their friendship and the conversations they have, and today, they touched on the "white genocide."

The term was adopted after several Afrikaners called for help from Donald Trump, claiming there was a genocide against Afrikaner farmers taking place. This led Trump to open his borders and welcome the Afrikaners as refugees in America.

While the allegations of the genocide have since been questioned, Trevor Noah and his mates joked about it in his podcast, where he spoke about why he had to "flee" from the country:

"There was a white genocide in this country. I'm half white, and I had to choose. I wasn't sure what you guys would do with me."

Here's what South Africans said about Trevor Noah's comments

Mzansi isn't impressed with Trevor's alleged silence and for apparently addressing the "genocide" once it became irrelevant news.

Many accused him of playing it safe, claiming that the same people he was mocking are the ones "buttering his bread."

papizwane2 called Trevor Noah out:

"Dead quiet about the white genocide when it was mainstream and only popping up with the jokes when nobody cares."

NgwenyaShalton said:

"Dude knows where his bread is buttered."

Fikalolo1 bashed Trevor Noah:

"With a dead joke for that matter."

RamaphiriMpho claimed

"I mean, he is the beneficiary, and if he talks, how will he get the gigs? This is a dog-eat-dog world."

SikhoPhilani added:

"He really disappointed me as well. Even worse, he was paid millions by the Tourism Business Council to promote the country. I've even removed his shows from my Spotify."

"You guys are unfair to him, he can't interfere, he has a lot to lose."
