thetimes.co.uk - So Mario Balotelli was trying to be “anti-racist with humour”, the footballer has insisted, when he posted on Instagram an image of that other famous Mario above the words: “Jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a jew.” Balotelli’s effort might have misfired spectacularly, but if you’re looking for someone who really can beat racial stereotyping through humour, look no further than the South African comic Trevor Noah.
Noah is in a racial bracket of his own: he grew up under apartheid in Soweto as the son of a black Xhosa mother and white Swiss father.
