Problem for him is, without Europe and Europeans, there'd be no World Cup.
Only this.
And even that is optimistic.

After France triumphed Sunday in the FIFA World Cup, “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah was ready to celebrate. “Africa won the World Cup! Africa won the World Cup!” he sang, before joking that “you don’t get that tan by hanging out in the south of France.”
Noah was recognizing the multiethnic background of France’s team. It was a joke you might expect from Noah, a South African native and the son of a white father and black mother.
But as Noah informed an audience recently in between scenes while filming his Comedy Central show, Gérard Araud, France’s ambassador to the United States, did not find the joke funny. “I heard your words about ‘an African victory,” Araud wrote in a letter the host read to his guests. “Nothing could be less true.”
Noah read more of the letter, which was posted to the French Embassy’s official Facebook page, in a faux French accent. Araud noted that “all but two out of of the players “were born in France, they were educated in France, they learned to play soccer in France, they are French citizens.”
“They are proud of their country, France,” Araud continued. The rich and various backgrounds of these players is a reflection of France’s diversity.”
“Now that line there was interesting,” Noah said. “I think it’s more a reflection of France’s colonialism,” he added, drawing applause from the audience.
Arnaud's letter continued, “unlike in the United States of America, France does not refer to its citizens based on their race, religion or origin. To us, there is no hyphenated identity, roots are an individual reality. By calling them an African team, it seems you are only denying their Frenchness.”
“This, even in jest, legitimizes the ideology which claims whiteness as the only definition of being French,” Araud wrote.

RE: I guess French Olympic figure skater Surya Bonaly was skating for Africa as well?
But did Africa provide her the resources to train?

It’s been a long time since comedians were funny.
I love it when the Left outs themselves.
Societies are supposed to be color-blind, and welcoming.
Diversity is their strength, or so the story goes.
Then Blacks win the World Cup, and all of a sudden the mem dissolves as these Leftists get upset, and act out.
Once again, another example of the Left doing what they charge the Right with doing.
They’re racists.
If that’s the case, then how come no African nation has ever won the World Cup?
Leftist are completely insane with hatred on their hearts. Absolutely deranged people with a political mind set of an 8 year old child.
The Eagles finally won the Super Bowl. I never looked at it like Africa won the Superbowl (even though some kneel and call themselves slaves).
Noah is a nutcase...if he wasn’t on TV, he wouldn’t be famous...he’d be a homeless bum drinking Steel 211...
