US talk show host Trevor Noah has insisted that he never meant that the whole UK was racist, after being criticised for claiming that there had been a backlash to Rishi Sunak becoming the country's first Asian Prime Minister.
Daily Show presenter Mr Noah said on his satirical news programme The Daily Show this week that some people are saying that "now the Indians are going to take over Great Britain".
And Mr Sunak's own spokesperson, asked whether he believes the country he governs is racist, said: "No he doesn't." Now Mr Noah has pushed back against his British critics, claiming that his comments have been blown out of proportion.He replied to Mr Morgan's tweet, saying: "“C’mon Piers, you’re smarter than that.
He said: "Watching the story of Rishi Sunak becoming England's first Prime Minister of colour, of Indian descent, of all these things and then seeing the backlash is one of the more telling things about how people view the role that they or their people have played in history.
