Trevor Noah Apologises for Old Aborigine Joke

The popular comedian is facing accusations of racism for a video of a stand-up routine dating back to 2013, in which he ridicules Australia's Aboriginal women. In the video, Noah says "all women of every race can be beautiful". He then adds, "And I know some of you are sitting there now going, 'Oh Trevor, yeah, but I've never seen a beautiful Aborigine.'"
