Trevor Noah responds after backlash over 2013 Indigenous women joke

Hey @Trevornoah, your comments about Aboriginal @IndigenousX in this clip are utterly unacceptable! As a man of colour, you are usually in point with racism & divide – here you are perpetrating & encouraging racial abuse!! #boycotttrevornoahinoz https://t.co/UNXE8TlBtq RT

I am so disgusted and appalled by the comments by @Trevornoah and his attempted humour that denigrates Aboriginal women I hope Australians boycott his shows in #Brisbane #Sydney #Melbourne #Perth #Australia That kind of ‘humour’ is not funny and does damage! #racismitstopswithme https://t.co/yplwK2CtI7

@joewilliams_tew you're right. After visiting Australia's Bunjilaka museum and learning about aboriginal history first hand I vowed never to make a joke like that again. And I haven't. I'll make sure the clip from 2013 is not promoted in any way.

Shame on you, @Trevornoah!! How dare you call the women of our families, our communities and me such words. Don’t make us the butt of your joke for some cheap laughs. An official apology is in order before you even step on our land. #BecauseofHerWeCan #boycotttrevornoahinoz

Yeahhh probably gonna require more of an apology than “I went to the museum and now I get that you’re human beings” #boycotttrevornoahinoz https://t.co/Z5S6f057oC

I was a fan. Ugh, disappointing. And not even a real apology? Pls use your @TheDailyShow platform to call your own self out @Trevornoah. Don’t wait for a 3min spot on @theprojecttv when you get to Aus. It’ll be too late #boycotttrevornoahinoz

@Trevornoah You should make a public apology to all Aboriginal women here in Australia,yet we are subjected time and time again to racists/sexist jokes , not matter it was years ago your digital footprint still exists #boycotttrevornoahinoz #racismisnotacceptable

The comments made by @Trevornoah about Indigenous women are unacceptable and abhorrent. Boycott him. #boycotttrevornoahinoz

@Trevornoah perhaps if you realised just how far Australia still needs to come re racism against our first nations people, you'd realise what a thoughtless, hurtful and divisive joke you made.
As an idol, this was painful. But I support the #boycotttrevornoahinoz

Is the apology implied, or…? In my experience, Aboriginal people are incredibly kind, patient, and willing to engage and move forward (i.e. beautiful people). But this response is nowhere near proportional to hurt caused. Do better. #BoycottTrevorNoahInOz https://t.co/C9B0TK0gp6
