Because nobody gives a sh!t. He's a comedian. People should stop being butthurt. Political Correctness is ruining this country.

This.

Because most of the people who are pearl-clutching over it are paternalists disguising themselves as defenders of social justice.

I don't buy this.

How does Trevor Noah being part Jewish give him some leeway?

The same way it gave Jon Leibowitz some leeway, despite not being an observant Jew.

Can we just call Jon Stewart by his current name and not birth name?

I mean it's mostly white Christians getting angry because a Jewish man (who would be accepted under Israel's Law of Return) is making jokes about his own people.

Pretty clear-cut case of paternalism.

I'm lost as to how this is paternalism.
