As a non-American who lived in the US for a long time, I 100% agree with Trevor. If you grow up in the world, you have to be aware of America. Yet I found out that a lot of Americans are completely oblivious of the world. They just do whatever they want without realizing how much their actions affect everyone else outside America.

[@D_LEGEND]

You know, that is actually systemic and not completely benign. That is how the business model of this country works. The less people know about what's happening around the world the easier it is to buy that new car, fall into the talons of fast fashion, preach to others to go green when i fact we have been red lining for decades. And the geography helps as america is kind of isolated. So although most people are probably not aware, this is by no means an accident. How else can bunch of people align to geo and "bring democracy" to some country they never heard of likely. Anyways, the internet is definitely helping change that perspective, but unfortunately it is also charging everyone up. I speculate, next 20 years will bring some tensions on a global scale, because everything seems so polarized.

[@mish375]

An American friend of mine once said she feels the problem is the media. Everything is so insular that she said she felt some Americans would be surprised to discover they aren't the centre of the world.

Greetings from Germany.

[@kathleenmckenzie6261]

@@mish375 It isn't "some Americans would be surprised . . . . . " I'm an American who has lived in two different countries, and I'm convinced the majority of Americans would be shocked, aghast and in total denial of the idea that America isn't the center of the world. The problem started with the fact that we have an ocean on either side of us that historically made international travel very difficult for all but the rich. The 'otherness' filtered into all aspects of our culture, even pop music. "I'll take you home again, Kathleen, across the ocean wild and wide;" "Over there, over there, . . .send the word that the Yanks are coming. . . ." Trains came into public use for transportation in 1825 in England, followed by France in 1828. By 1848, Germany had over 3,000 miles of track, whereas the U.S. didn't begin to build the transcontinental railroad until 1863 and completed it in 1869. In 1850, a European citizen could get on a train and be in the next country within 24 hours. Twenty-five years later, it took an American citizen a week to travel from one side of the country to the other. Those distances had a profound subconscious impact on our culture and we still have next to no appreciation of how small our globe has become.

[@mish375]

@@kathleenmckenzie6261 My friend (RIP to her) grew up in the UK for most of her childhood despite being American. She said she was thankful for that because she saw the real world, but was shocked at how in America there was little about the outside world. I agree that geography does play a role. I once worked with a guy from the UK. He said that everyone is stuck into a small space, with everyone fighting for their own identity, that it humbles you to realize that you're not the only ones on Planet Earth that the Sun revolves around.

[@thatnoona8497]

I loved this candid but still somehow poignant conversation between two such complex but approachable voices. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@sholaspeaks6672]

This is exactly what I spoke about in my 2nd to last video. Trevor hit the nail on the head here and it's nice to seem him slowly shift out of having to dance around hard topics. This is the reason Black Americans often clash with Afro immigrants from Africa, the Caribbean, and the West Indies or South America. Black Americans, because of their history, have an identity that was founded through oppression and racism and their skin. The rest of the afro diaspora doesn't have this so we're not as attached to our skin and are instead attached to our cultures. But I think when we come to America and we run into the rigid rules Black Americans impose on themselves based on their physical appearance, and also try to impose on us, we panic because we don't understand it. So many things are imposed on skin and wearing black skin comes with so many connotations in America. Black Americans may see Africans running away from these connotations as self hate or self rejection, when in reality, Africans and Afro Diasporic people don't hate their skin, they just hate the significances Americans have attached to it. They may not hate the product, but instead just hate the way its been branded. But this is what being an immigrant is like. Your perspectives, experiences, and identity is erased and you're made into a chess piece for the nearest political agenda. White Americans try to use you as a model minority, and Black Americans deny you of your individuality and try to force you to become what you don't understand. Flat Blackness is absolute nonsense, the word "Blackness" is stupid and problematic because it creates diaspora wars when everyone is fighting over who gets to determine the definition that word contains. Let's try to use our heads once a while. Black is a construct invented by white people to justify your oppression and so many people are still trying to gatekeep something that doesn't exist.

[@LindaC616]

Amen

[@marcusaurelius7263]

So true

[@jgonsalk]

YES. There is no black and white. Just people and their cultures. I would add to your point. There are certain specific things that tend to happen to people within a culture if they are a minority racial group, certain gender, sexuality or different in some way but these differences aren't as big as the differences that come from being an individual. We are all more different within a culture than our cultures are different from one another. That is, two Middle Easter muslims will be more different than Middle Eastern muslims are different from Serbians. Our cultures give us exciting traditions and shared identities but, ultimately, we are individual and once you peer under the surface the heterogeneity jumps out. I think identity politics has obsessed about race and gender and other such things and, to a degree, there are some useful conversations to be had. But so much of it is deciding that "Black = " and "white = " and deciding that the race is the identity (which you shot down very eloquently) and that the identity is the person (where there is so much variability). I think we'd all get along much better if we dropped some of these assumptions so we can find out that people are people and culture is something that usually helps us learn more, rather than less, from each other and bring us together more.

[@sholaspeaks6672]

@@jgonsalk exactly!! There are so much nuances in identity and in politics and race doesn't acknowledge this.

@Michael Lochlann not only that, but you generally have to be able to think quickly. I'm constantly amazed that he is able to measure his words,but still keep the show rolling at a quick pace. Obviously, he gets to practice the parts that he and his writers write, but in interviews such as this, you can see it at work.

This is Wikipedia go check it out for yourselfs ...Virologist Luc Montagnier argued that the Coronavirus disease 2019 was man-made in a laboratory and that it might have been the result of an attempt to create a vaccine for HIV/AIDS. His allegation came after the United States had launched a probe into whether the virus came from a laboratory. According to Montagnier, the "presence of elements of HIV and germ of malaria in the genome of coronavirus is highly suspect and the characteristics of the virus could not have arisen naturally." However this was described as "a conspiracy vision that does not relate to the real science" by Jean-Francois Delfraissy, an immunologist and head of the scientific council that advises the French government on the COVID-19 pandemic. Also it's the vaccine that is causing the VARIANTS....

Shout out to Jane for letting a person talk instead of interrupting. This is what an interview should be.

[@thedudeabides4829]

This is a very important conversation. Trevor Noah can analyze and verbalize situations; the way he feels and/or the point of view he has. In similar circumstances many people will talk in circles trying to tiptoe around controversial topics never really being able to share their view in a way everyone can understand. Meaning people who are on either side of the argument can at the very least understand where he’s coming from.

[@drishtisanger3899]

Someday, I’ll end up being invited to Trevor’s show. It would be the most amazing experience to have a conversation with him.

Trevor Noah is an amazing human being. A credit to his country, his family and himself. The US is so lucky to have him living and working there.

I love Trevor Noah and his humor. I find him hilariously funny especially when he talks about serious subjects. I am never offended by him. I never feel he goes too far. Trevor, keep being you. Be blessed.

Excellent interview.

This man has gained a new fan. Its so refreshing to see such an articulate, well rounded and intelligent young man who can debate correctly and speak common sense.

I have a feeling that this woman thought she was going to bury Trevor with her logic and intellect. She instead, got a lesson from an equally intelligent and logical person. The difference between the two? Common sense. She has none.

I feel like the quality of the questions vs the quality of the answers was like night and day. Trevor Noah is so eloquent. He was spot on about how culture is an operating system you didn't realize you had.

[@kats4661]

First, I have to say that I love everything about this conversation. I do find it interesting that, even though the video is titled (as I watch it now) with the term “cancel culture,” no where in the conversation is that term used. This may not be a bad thing. The conversation is relevant to the idea of “cancel culture,” and it may be important for people who click on things with “cancel culture” in the title (myself included) to hear it talked about in this way. But I do think it is an interesting fact worth considering.

[@brigettemccoy]

At around 7:00 or a little after they talk about the topic without saying the term.

[@YesterdaysMoose]

Excellent interview! I appreciate Trevor discussing the backlash to things comedians said in the past, but doesn't resort to using the term "cancel culture". For some reason, it feels more classy. It's the modern-day "politically correct", a term thrown around so much and applied to so many things that it loses all meaning. Well done!

I am very successful black man from Chicago but was brought up very poor BUT I was lead to believe in hard work and perseverence. I was told to respect and not believe in racism. It worked for me and my two siblings. All my white bosses promoted me because of my attitude and now I teach other blacks and minorities to dump their victimhood and buy into the truth. Trump enlightened a record number of us back Americans to the point where it became evident that he was for us and our futures.

[@mosca-tse-tse]

Such an important voice! Hard work, clear goals, perseverance and not falling for the believes that limit our potential. Thank you for sharing and good luck to you and your followers 🍀

[@hossain4733]

Yeah, Trevor Noah is correct about American news. Like I am a big fan of the NYT podcasts "the daily". But sadly a large number of people dislikes these newspapers. I don't know why. In a democracy this kind of newspapers so much valuable that Americans can't imagine. We are dealing with it now.
