Comedian Trevor Noah’s Epic Take On Racist Remarks Against UK PM Rishi Sunak Wins Hearts

In a clip posted by the show’s Twitter handle, Noah points out the racist comments over Rishi Sunak being elected the Prime Minister of the UK. “Of course…not everyone is happy with Sunak taking the top post…but it’s not because they don’t like his policies.”

He shows a snippet of a radio programme where a caller takes offence at Britain’s latest political development. The caller, identified as Jerry Lowestoft, asks the host whether it’d be fine if he were the prime minister of Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. “These things matter…England with 85% white people wants to see a PM who reflects them,” he says.

In a hilarious swipe, Noah responds, “Yeah, he has a good point. Can you imagine if white English people wanted to rule countries where no one looked like them?…it is difficult to imagine what that world would be like.” The comedian further says, “…racists always defend colonisation, brushing it as mere business until they feel like they’re being colonised.”
