Comedian and TV host, Trevor Noah has been accused of racism after he made a joke that Africa won the 2018 World Cup because of the number of black players in the French national team.
The South African comedian made the joke during his segment on The Daily Show, saying the victory was for Africa because most of the players have African root.
He said on Monday: “Africa won the World Cup.”
“I get it, they have to say it’s the French team. But look at those guys. You don’t get that tan by hanging out in the south of France, my friends.”
