Now that is an extremely racist thing to say and it is quite insulting to the non blacks. It hints at the insult that white's are not good athletes. The French were insulted and outraged by the remark and several leaders of the country have openly rebuked Trevor Noah for these comments.
But have any advertisers pulled their support? No. Have any suggested they might? No. Has anyone even hinted that he could get fired over this racist comment? No.
There is a double standard. Racist comments against "whites" are OK.

This is the first I've heard of this, maybe because I don't watch TV. The different standards could be due to the fact that Barr was on network TV and Noah is on cable. They LITERALLY do have different standards. For example they can say f**k on cable TV but that word is censored on commercial broadcast networks ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox.
