Trevor Noah's Hilarious Take At Racist Attacks On UK PM Rishi Sunak Leaves Internet In Splits
"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," Noah responded
Comedian and host of the satirical television program The Daily Show Trevor Noah took a swipe at British racists who have taken offence to Rishi Sunak, a non-white, appointed as the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Introducing the new UK PM on his show now posted on Twitter, Noah said, "The UK's Prime Minister is former Finance Minister, Rishi Sunak. And he is Indian, he is Hindu, and he is only 42 years old, which means he will probably serve well into his 42 and halves. And let's not forget another important first, he is the first British PM who is an absolute snack."

The comedian also gives a sneak peek into a radio programme in which a caller is not happy with the latest political developments in the country and explains why a non-white person becoming the PM of the UK is not a good thing.
The caller - identified as Jerry Lowestoft says, "Can you imagine me becoming Prime Minister of Pakistan? People of England would like to see someone who looks like them,"
“These things matter…England with 85% white people wants to see a PM who reflects them,” he added.
To this Noah hilariously 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."
"...racists always defend colonisation, brushing it as mere business until they feel like they’re being colonised," he further said.
The talk show host also defended Sunak and said, “You're not being colonised, the new PM is British…he is not going to walk to his podium on the first day and say ‘I’m selling the whole country to India…it's revenge time...that was the whole plan…Happy Diwali…’.”
The show garnered some interesting response on Twitter.
