Netizens call out the racism and insensitivity of US comedian who said India-Pak would be "most entertaining war of all times"
Tensions steeply escalated between India and Pakistan, when Islamabad responded with military aggression to New Delhi's counter-terrorism operation on Masood Azhar's Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camps, who claimed reasonability of the barbaric Pulwama attack that martyred 40 jawans.

Tensions steeply escalated between India and Pakistan, when Islamabad responded with military aggression to New Delhi's counter-terrorism operation on Masood Azhar's Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camps, who claimed responsibility of the barbaric Pulwama attack that martyred 40 jawans. Meanwhile, in the West, a US-based comedian chose to obliviously stage a show out of the military confrontation between the two countries, making a mockery out of a 'war'.
Amid the intensified hostility between the two nuclear-nations, tightened border security and the global community in solidarity with India terrorism and vocalising their concerns against the gravity of the situation, comedian Trevor Noah chose to joke about it on his The Daily Show. The political satirical comedian scripted his show calling this 'the most entertaining war of all times' and further pounded it with stereotypical and racist jibes.
Speaking in a stereotypical 'Indian accent', the South African comedian mentioned how this would be the longest war because of 'another dance number', reiterating the superfluous India-Bollywood correlation.
But for Noah, the grieving Indians found no humour in his comedy, instead called him out for his insensitivity and downright racism towards the brown skinned.
The world took notice of this bias as Trevor Noah has been well-known to attack US President Donald Trump for his atrocities, racism especially towards black people, and support for Saudi-led war in Yemen, meanwhile being entirely heedless to the Southeast Asia conflict.
