Who's laughing now? Trevor Noah REFUSES to apologize for joke calling Aboriginal women ugly

Trevor Noah insists that he wasn't trying to hurt or offend anyone with his jokes and claims that his addressing the issue was enough

Comedian Trevor Noah received backlash after a footage of him calling Aboriginal women ugly in a joke that resurfaced online ahead of his Australian tour. The footage was from 2013 and after receiving a lot of flak for it, the comedian had to cancel his trip.

However, despite all this, Trevor does not think he needs to apologize. Speaking to Triple J, The Daily Show host made it clear that he wasn't going to apologize for his words and those who were outraged by the joke 'don't want to listen'.

"We live in a world where people want to unearth things that have already been unearthed," he said in the interview. The comedian then recalled the situation when he first cracked the joke.
