Trevor Noah slams media for racist remarks on Ukraine: War 'was Europe's entire thing'

Comedian Trevor Noah is calling out a double standard in media coverage of the crisis in Ukraine in comparison to devastation in other regions such as Africa and the Middle East.

On Monday's episode of "The Daily Show," Noah sharply criticized TV reporters stunned by the violence unfolding in a "relatively civilized," "relatively European" country that is "not a developing, Third World nation" — as some broadcasters put it.

Journalists have garnered widespread criticism over the past week for implying that the predominantly white people of Ukraine deserve more sympathy than people living in places with mostly nonwhite populations.

"I don't know about you but I have been glued to the TV all weekend watching all the news," Noah said.
