Trevor might joke that racism died the day Barack Obama became president, but sadly we all know that ain’t the case.

We’re not going to dive into any of the numerous racism rows currently being fanned by politicians here at home, because America has its fair share of drama on the daily, too.

Take for example Congressman Steve King, who has a long and storied history of saying overtly racist things, but has still managed to ingratiate himself within the Republican party.

Finally, however, the controversy whipped up by his statement that he was unsure why “white nationalist” and “white supremacist” should be considered offensive language took its toll.

Oh, he wasn’t turfed out or anything like that, but the House did vote to admonish white supremacy following the fallout. King was also removed from high-powered committees by his own party, but has refused to resign.

Hard-hitting stuff.

Taking a break from being the guy who shovels biltong into his face at airports, Trevor is branching out from TV host.

Enter Trevor Noah: Racism Detective, who is on the case:

Yes, a tough case to crack indeed.

Trevor, if you’ve got a second, any chance you can swing past Laerskool Schweizer-Reneke and sort out that fiasco?
