http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/ct-trevor-noah-tweets-disappointing-balancing-20150331-column.htmlA day after the 31-year-old South African comedian was announced as Jon Stewart's replacement on "The Daily Show," his tweets have come under fire for being anti-Semitic and sexist.
"'Oh yeah the weekend. People are gonna get drunk & think that I'm sexy!' fat chicks everywhere."
"A hot white woman with (rear end) is like a unicorn. Even if you do see one, you'll probably never get to ride it."
"Almost bumped a Jewish kid crossing the road. He didn't look b4 crossing but I still would hav felt so bad in my german car!"
I was feeling a bit disappointed that TDS will continue to be a boys club with the announcement of the new host. Now after reading some of Noah's tweets, it's as if Comedy Central has put a sign on the show "No Women Viewers Wanted." I will definitely oblige.
