Trevor Noah's 91-year-old grandmother schools him on apartheid

As far as apartheid was concerned he would never be white.

Indeed; the atrocious laws under that system made that painfully clear.

I remember marveling at the almost palpable envy of the White South African comedians that were interviewed, as they decried Noah as “arrogant” and “cocky”… which is interesting, because I find him to be incredibly self-deprecating and charming.

Is “cocky” South African for “uppity?”

I’m guessing; that was certainly how I interpreted it when I watched the doc.

You may have meant that but the way you worded it was extremely open to misinterpretation.

Yes, thank you. I wasn’t referring to South African apartheid but in context it appears that way, and clearly Noah would never be considered White under Apartheid.

Comparing the plight of people who can’t watch certain internet videos due to region locking to the plight of black South Africans living under Apartheid is probably not the best way to win people over.
