Trevor Noah received a letter of complaint from the French ambassador to the US after making a crack about Africa winning the World Cup, and delivers what amounts to a pitch-perfect editorial in response.
Ambassador made the fair point that by stressing the Africaness of the many black layers in France's team, Noah was playing to those who seek to deny their Frenchness. Noah asks legitimately: why can't they be both? And explains why they can and should be free to be both.
