He doubled down on his take. Kudos.
This is exactly why I love Trevor Noah! He’s real, honest and puts things in perspective to make you think about 🤔 or rethink your way of thinking 🧐!!
Awesomeness at its best!!
miss him in the show 😊
Trevor sounds very spikey about the criticism. The French ambassador should probably have just let if fly, but it is a huge problem in France that people of colour are told by racists (many mainstream ones) that they aren't French even if born there etc, and so by doing the same he is feeding that narrative.
Very, VERY interesting !! I am a 3rd/4th generation American/Pole(of Polish ancestry). WITH, a strange funny original POLISH last name. AND, I am also 2nd generation American/Italian. I can speak and understand a little Italian, and a little Polish. I am a PROUD American, who honors, respects and appreciates his ancestry. Thank you for your very insightful video.
Y’all may not like the content but Trevor has a point and 100% has a right to address his experiences and give his opinions.
Nah, we love the content
As anyone and everyone does.
An uneducated point at that. Being from South Africa living in the US does not give him a PhD on French things. There’s a deep culture and history difference in play here. He spoke like a fool on a subject he doesn’t understand. That’s ok but that’s just low level joke.
What point does he have? With the hyperfocus of equality these days, why can't the black players just be French? Trevor is basically saying no, they're not French. In spite of the fact that they were born in France, speak French, play on the French team, and won the world cup for their country, they are African. Doesn't that sound a bit racist to you?
Trevor had a huge platform and was constantly giving his opinion. Others, to use your words, have a 100% right to criticize it. Trevor doesn't even have experience of being born in France and being told he's not French. Besides, he says Africa, as though it is one nation - it's a continent of many different nations with different experiences, customs and languages. Like saying Italians are the same as Germans. He should know better but was salty about the criticism.
Unlike some people that claims to be it, Trevor is a stable genius!
As usual, Trevor has the most insightful take on situations.
Layers of nuance and truth
In Australia we literally joke about a lot of our football team being or having parents from other countries.
Doesn't make them any less Australian, and noone would ever take the jokes that way.
going by that logic only aboriginals are australian and they aswell came from africa at a certain point in history
@@the_Periadordidn’t every human being on earth?
@@kingmonde exactly!
@periador9149 Thank you. People act like colonizing didn't have the impact that it did
Yeah but 🇫🇷 and 🇦🇺 are not the same.everyone in Australia is from somewhere else Except the native aboriginals.I’m naturalized 🇺🇸 citizen and if someone told me to go back to where I came from,I’ll tell them to eat a dick.I don’t know if I can say that if I was in 🇫🇷
Really miss your show and, in particular, your unique viewpoint.
Love ya Trevor
I am from Europe and dont like this angle. But I like Trevor. Still do, he is great.
Trevor is forcing his African-American identity ideas and experience to other people in a foreign country. If anything; ask the players what they identify as, not Trevor Noah.
And to use french nazis like its anything more a french attitude than idiot nazis anywhere, is also off.
First time I think he missed. And he doubled down and missed again.
But thats comedy I guess. Cant please everyone all the time. If the americans enjoyed this, then he made it and at the end of the day is what is important for him.
Context has a place and this was a way to say it
"The African dropped the baby"
In the US there are native-Americans, african-Americans, latin-Americans but no euro-Americans. Why is that?
It is automatic that everyone else IS Euro-American. The other groups have had to FIGHT and DIE just to be 'included'.
Because the country was founded by Europeans. You don't hyphenate the founders. Even so, there are still Italian-Americans, German-Americans, etc..
@@kinggremlin4574 the founders were Amerindians, who saved that said Europeans with the 'celebrated' Thanks Giving, who were later put on reservation camps,
@@kinggremlin4574- The founders are Native, so they shouldn’t be called native-Americans. The Europeans “discovered” a place that was already inhabited by other people.
I think you are exactly right. Let's introduce the term Euro-American. If many people use it, it will be in the dictionary in no time!
Imagine how much horrible things are at The Daily Show. French Ambassador Gérard Araud is petitioning that Trevor returns to save the show.
this was five years ago
And this will always be true until France gets over itself.
So, around the time of the heat death of he universe?
Trevor comes across kinda as somewhat ignorant here regarding the French perspective, starting out with how he understands the criticism. But then dismissing it (I mean even "who can become French" sounds strange to me. Because afaik the vast majority of them didn't +become+ French, they were right from the start of their life).
Also, what he mentions as positive, "celebrating your identity", comes across as weird for many other (Western) Europeans as well (in my case: German)
e.g. someone who never set a foot into Germany, doesn't speak the language (besides maybe a handful of phrases) and barely has any knowledge of the country... but then claiming to be "German"... would seem somewhat +fake+ to us here.
(also, a small sidenote: what's with the French/African duality? like, Africa isn't a country, but a continent)
Totally agree with your logic. French ambassador just needs to chill.
Love Trevor! Kind, generous, and knowledgeable! He has my respect. Too bad politics aren't more like him. ❤😂😮😅
it's interesting how immigration background and what we call it is different in different countries. you highlighted how it's perceived in the US and France in different ways. In the Netherlands, my home country we have also a lot of people of colour, partly because of the colonial background, partly for other reasons. What's different is that we don't have a word to describe African Americans/black coloured people. It is always called by what country a person comes from or originated from. many surinamese decendants are never called African American because they are black but simply surinamese (surinamers), from turkish decent Turks (Turken) from indonesia indonesians (indo's), from Marocco Maroccans (Marrokanen). The county their lineage comes from is what they identify with or get identified with, because some might hate to be called anything other then Dutch. i also think racism and how it's looked upon varies massively from country to country, and much has to do with the specific history of that country and the history of immigration in that country. just an observation to a very complicated issue but not always negative. one thing i know for sure, if you're a minority by origin or colour in another country you WILL be called something, positive or negative, because you stand out, you're different. I'm a white guy in a coloured country, and yes, they have names for that here too. It's ok, i love it here and it's my home.
This was a legendary edition
The Frenchies are going to be really hacked off by his bad accent. That will be even funnier, but the French still won't get it. LOL
We get it.
😂the arrogance to hear their Ambassador AND PLAYERS say you're wrong and then doubling down as if they simply didn't understand his perspective...
They did, they wanted to teach you something about their nation and identities but sure, you go first...
Trevor's not back! Don't fall for the network's reruns. He's never coming back and Paramount's CEO made it clear they are going to rehash everything on their late night television shows until the strike ends. Comedy central doesn't want Trevor back, it just wants to continue monetizing on the content he created that they already own. They had a boost in ratings with the guest hosts, so they'll probably continue that after the strike ends. Trevor didn't want TDS job and turned it down originally. He's on tour making way more money, and he actually enjoys doing stand-up comedy compared to hosting TDS.
Yeah..... we know
Still a VITALLY IMPORTANT segment... But I get it!!!
Thank you for mansplaining that to us.
@@theoriginalbridgetconnors anytime! Thank YOU for the sarcastic response and the engagement on this comment thread. Have a great day! 😁
So, he didn't like that the African heritage is taken away, but it's ok that he himself took away the French part
that's the joke
(sheesh, you people ...)
Agreed 100%
😂 oh yes! That time Trevor took on the French government and won!
😂😂😂
Miss ya Trev
I am just glad someone is talking truth for a change…
I love Trevor ❤️ I'm so happy to still be getting content from him 😍😁👍
You should ask a black French person what they think. Unlike America, Europeans do not care about the country of someone’s ancestors. It doesn’t make any sense to say what country a person’s ancestors come from. It only matters the country or countries where they themselves were are actually from. Also, many Black people in America do not like the term African-American, because it doesn’t make sense. Many Black people have been in the US longer than German Americans, or Scandinavian Americans, or French Americans, for example, but for some reason only Black people get that title, so it’s kind of weird. It makes more sense to say your actual nationality, and when you go to Europe, please do not tell people what European country your ancestors are from, because you are not a citizen of that country. It doesn’t make sense. The land where your ancestors lived has nothing to do with you. May be a little with your culture, but culture changes, a lot, and the way Americans view ancestry from other countries is unique and not shared by the rest of the world.
Trevor love you on the show my respects to all of the other entertainer after you left....but Thankyou for being back 😘.
He's not back! He's not listening. How do you not recognize this as a rerun!?
@@ScorobeSlavinpoop oks I just woked up and i pressed play on the vid...excuse me for simply starting my day...
When you wake up and there's a headline saying the strike is over, they'll start making more Daily Show. Trevor's not coming back either way. He has his own channel and he probably will be posting new content on it soon since he's been touring. I'd recommend subscribing there if you actually miss him. Otherwise, HE'S NEVER COMING BACK TO TDS.
Adults of reality to comedy us a gift to us all...
Point well made, Trevor. You told it like it is.😀
Much love sent out to Trevor and his wisdom. I love listening to him speak and getting original perspectives I may have not thought of.
Contrary to what Trevor claim the ambassador never said one cannot be both french and african in fact the ambassador clearly stated in his letter that "roots are an individual reality". It is incredibly hypocritical from Trevor to claim the contrary just after reading the ambassadors' words.
Loss of credibility on such topic. “I’m from South Africa in the US therefore I have a PhD on things French”
So condescending and uneducated
Excellent point. stated well.
I know the man had to move on but it's just a reminder of what rare, deep, daily wisdom we have lost access to.
Now that was profound👏
Do we know if there was a response to this? I had to come back and see it again. Noah is so measured, so accurate!
Love from India and I love your content brother...🔥♥️🙏🙏
Well said, Trevor!
This is why I miss Trevor Noah on the Daily Show....
Can I just live in a world where Trevor Noah and Bernie Sanders sit down and decide what to do - about everything?
Exactly!
LOVE! ❤
Say what you will about him. This men will grant switzerland another nobel peace price some day sooner or later.
And saying this as a swiss means, i am happy for him, for switzerland and of course (south) africa.
Thank you for being humble and straight forward.
Sadly enough not all people do have a wide enough horizon or understanding of your jokes and between the lines reading skills.
Keep doing what you are doing best, ma'man! ❤
Trevor Noah, you can't understand that.. a big cultural gap separates the 2 continents.
there is no communitarianism in Europe as in the Anglo-Saxon countries. it is forbidden to refer to people's origins.
the integration model is entirely different.
in the United States, integration is not desirable. communities must remain isolated with barriers between them.
With the hyperfocus on equality these days, why can't the black players just be French? Trevor is basically saying no, they're not French. In spite of the fact that they were born in France, speak French, play on the French team, and won the world cup for their country, they are African. Doesn't that sound a bit racist to you?
Do you mean those players should also claim Gaulish ancestry, as they had to, decades ago ?
You go boy. Love yah.
🇫🇷🏆🏆⚽
Right before he started talking about the man and the baby, that story was already running through my head.
Preach!!! Word!!!🎉❤❤❤
Trevor. Your reply is brilliant ❤You are the master and French ambassador really come through badly .
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤
Trevor clearly twisted his narrative in his response to the ambassador. On top of that he gets really salty and insulting in his response, making fun of the ambassador in front of his audience, reading his letter with a stereotypical french accent, caricaturing the ambassador's remark, that's pretty unworthy of Trevor.
Yeah, you'd be so much fun at children's parties
The French ambassador put the ball in the wrong goal.
I'm not touching duality, what makes a citizen and all that. But I will say (write?) that I understand the ambassador being annoyed: the french-african players were taught the game in France, in french football fields, by french (maybe something-french) coaches, by french clubs, using equipments that french clubs bought. Probably inspired by players who aren't french, but it doesn't take away my point.
I get that he was annoyed, but he handled it like a true role model. A role model for how to not handle those issues.
Those players are born and raised in France and they don:t know much (if anything) from the land where their parents came from.
When Trevor labels them "African" he's technically correct but he's soft-segregating them based on the color of their skin.
The French government is doing the right thing by promoting integration.
Trevor just wants to promote his native land without worrying about the consequences of his words and then on a separate show complain that black people are "somehow" treated differently.
Morgan Freeman is right, to get rid of racism people should talk about people, not race.

Amen my brother 🎉😅❤
So the ambassador was right. The ambassador didn't said they can't be African, he said that in their case they are French, born in France, and played for France. They have African origins, but their descent doesn't make their individuality, that is at least philosophycally debatable. And in this case, they were playing for France, not Africa. Btw no African country ever won the World Cup, if these players were trained in Africa they would have never made it. However Trevor is right about the fact that Black people in France are seen as African or French depending on their background.
If Americans could stop being so condescending to other countries, like do you really believe the whole nationalist propaganda about being the best country on earth ?
It was a joke.
Firstly, your concluding question bears no relevance to the main issue, and seems to be an attempt to divert the conversation by critiquing the US, making it an irrelevant point. Secondly, these individuals are as much African as they are French. It's not about where they were trained, but about their deep-rooted heritage. One doesn't negate centuries of heritage simply by being born in France. While they embrace the benefits of French citizenship, they don't abandon their origins. Both identities coexist harmoniously, which is Trevor's argument. These individuals are the proud descendants of those who endured challenges to establish themselves in France, nurtured their offspring there, who in turn, trained and triumphed in the World Cup alongside their teammates. What's evident is the synergy between immigrants and French society, producing some of the top football players globally. There's no contention here. The only friction arises from those who believe that one's heritage should be forsaken to shield them from prejudice, from racism. But that's just cowardly. We shouldn't obliterate heritage to safeguard individuals from bigotry; we should eradicate bigotry itself. Yes these guys are as proud Africans as they are proud French people.
Africa never won a World Cup because the best players are often scouted by other countries and given citizenship. As white people, I think we have a problem with admitting that maybe we keep getting non white players to join our country’s team so we can ensure a victory and rest on our laurels.
I understand both views. It hurts to have to hyphenate your nationality when you're just American. But, when you should still be able to honor your heritage. Very very very few in any country can claim their entire family's entire history is from that country. 🤷🏾♀️
yet nobody is laughing@@therschu6218
wow don't pretend not to understand of course it can be dual but in that context, they're French that's it .
very wise man
These housing projects for the North African Immigrants were all over France mostly on the outskirts of the big metropolitan areas. In the late 50s all the way to early 79s, for instance, one had to take the train to get to Paris, (it was expensive), to go for job interviews. These immigrants were stuck, isolated and unemployment was between 25-50% amongst the younger ones. Today the unemployment statistics at a little better 16-20 or some places 25%. Unfortunately many of the young ones turned toward the easier alternative of drug dealing to support their families (parents who receive a poverty level retirement pension). By the way, the term « racaille » came directly from President Sarkozy’s mouth and is used regularly since to describe the youth from the « ZONE ».
"Why can't they be both ?" Maybe cause there's no country called "africa", that's two different things.
I usually like trevor but here he's just proving racists right : if you're from a different origin you'll never be a full citizen, you'll always be dragged back to where you come from no matter how hard you want to be french.
For us they are french guys who happen to have a different origin. France is not perfect, but it manages to make it today a far less racist country than say... the US. Sorry fellow americans, but there are so many stories of people getting in trouble or even killed in the US because they are black that looking at trevor glorifying this system is just sickening. In the US you can celebrate Saint Patrick ! So Great ! you can also get killed cause you're a black teenager running in a hoodie or ringing the wrong door.
Keep your philosophy if you want, but don't lecture us cause nothing like that happens here.
If Trevor isn't hosting The Daily Show, he still should be putting out content. We need his unique perspective.
Как Африканец, Я полностью согласен со всем, что ты сказал бро
He's absolutely right!
There was a burst of French bashing following the victory of France at the World Cup and this idea that Africa had won the world cup was echoed by racists and Francophobes, even newspapers, politicians and world leaders relayed it such as the President of Venezuela who ironized that the French team was an African team, and it was in fact Africa who had won not France. I was really shocked to see Trevor fall within this trend, but even more appaled to see the way he responded to the ambassador, Trevor's reaction was truly childish.
If you pay your writers, you don't have to rerun 5 year old programs!
why is this being posted today? it happened in 2018...
Wonderful book I recommend that talks about this very issue in France. "Fixing France: How To Repair a Broken Republic" by Nabila Ramdani (French-Algerian writer). Enjoy!
This was genius Trevor. ..
Dude this is 5 years old news!!!
Il a raison!
À propos de quoi ?
Is Trevor coming back?
❤
This is old material!
Word ❤Trevor ❤
🏆🎯💯
Bring back Trevor
Trevor was wrong on this and just digs a deeper hole with his lame excuses. He completely misunderstands the reality in France.
not true as you are probably a white man commenting ....hilarious
realize a JOKE when you see it, it was a straight face joke, you're taking life too seriously
@@savagepro9060 No, Trevor was taking this too seriously. He should have just apologized and saved himself a lot of trouble.
@@savagepro9060Words even jokes have consequences. This is reasonable response that has lots of merits. Take it as it is. A simple response.
No no. Let's start at the real beginning. France (Europe) wanted stuff. Africa had stuff.
Nothing of value to say, but our algorithm overlord must have its offerings.
Come on Daily Show. Do we really need to have 5 year old news clips coming into our feed. How about some new material?
Hello Trevor I’m a big fan of you as an American humorist and will always be. What the ambassador of France says is not a political thing it is deeply anchored in our Nation. France is universalist it goes beyond races and religions. Kids of immigrants like myself born in France don’t belong to an ethnic group or a race community. No one ever would ask you about your race ever ! There is no race but human. I know it might sound strange and I don’t say there is no racism in France but it’s more of a social racism tinted with cultural back ground actually where your parents originally come from but no one would put you in a box classified by races. It would be actually anticonstitutionnel. You may say these players parents are originally from Africa but these kids are French and proud to be such cause no one would treat them like humans of an other kind. Being French is sharing the same values same projects same knowledge. Education, Health and Justice are blind they don’t treat you differently based on your race and money. And I’m not trying to say France is better on this topic better than the US you guys proved you can do better: this is the first western country who ever got a president of color. For this you gained our deepest respect and admiration because for how French ppl are open minded about religions ppl of different origins etc after we beheaded the king and said enough with the idea that the power belongs to a man based on his affiliation though anyone has access to them families of old French nobility push their kids to the highest school of law and administration in the hope of seeing their descendants acceding to the highest fonctions which they lost on the the stage of French Revolution’s guillotine.
Just for the anecdote
Trevor is right! 😏
who cares where you were born.... why can't we all just be humans, who come in a rainbow of colors? Maybe then someday, we'll all be humane.... and deserve the name.
TREVOR FOREVER. 😂😂👍👌
This guy is going to be the next Kevin Hart or Chris Rock, watch him go!
how long more do you executives want to milk nostalgia for trevor noah?
Another example of why TN will be missed on the show...
😂😂😂
Mehn, I miss Trevor Noah😢
i agree with you in most of youre points but saying you want to inclue them in youre africaness sounds weirdly familiar to the thing you criticise about the french mentality. In my view you should not support or hate peaple solely because where they come from.
So as a fellow human beeing i think it is an amazing thing for them to accomplish. Besides the fact that Fifa is milking it wherever it can and i dont watch the games anymore.
Trevor for President of the World!
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Trevor is not sincere here. Is the second part he says "I acknowledged their africanness but I did not deny their frenchness". That not quite true. He said "Africa won world cup!". Not "french players of african descent", not "afro-french team" or something like that. No. Just "Africa". Completely denying the french part of the story. And now he is accusing french people of the same thing he did himself. That stinks.
