'Your stereotype of Indo-Pak is ignorant,' said one celebrity Twitter user.

Trevor Noah has apologized after a joke about the rising tensions between India and Pakistan was dubbed"insensitive" by citizens of the two countries.

Trevor Noah attends the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on February 24, 2019 in Beverly Hills, California. He has been accused of insensitivity for his comments about the India-Pakistan conflict. Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images Referencing Bollywood musicals, Noah faked an Indian accent and said that any conflict between the nuclear powers “would also be the longest war of all time—another dance number!”

“As a comedian I use comedy to process pain and discomfort in my world but I am sorry that this hurt you and others, that's not what I was trying to do.” Last week, Noah used race as the focus of a joke he made when presenting the best picture nominee Black Panther at the Academy Awards.

🇵🇰don’t want war. 🇵🇰 want peace with everyone. Peace is the only way forward

What he should be apologizing for is that his show stinks and he’s not funny

2 countries with nukes and mad. Ain't funny

ayebeeseedee

Never apologize. It's a joke. If they can't take it, eff em.

If we can't joke about this mess of a world, what have we. Humor opens dialogue and helps us see the chaos and ridiculousness, which hopefully spurs change.

No, just fair...reverse racism and minority privilege bigger now than ever...more racism towards whites than ever...who fought in union for end of slavery? White men? Not marches! Where are their reparations and thanks?

Not cool. Unless nuclear war is entertaining.

Elitist

Which his father was

Sorry cancel culture started by your party! Your gone! Haha...have some white pride...your father is white

Along with his wanting to punch a teen in the face! What a bang up guy! Get lost! Trevornoah HuffPost
