Uh-oh, the Internet wants to make itself feel powerful again by ruining someone's career over thought crime. Must be Tuesday.

It really amazes me that in 24 hours people were able to look through 8900 tweets by #TrevorNoah to find 2 or 3 that are mildly offensive.

#TrevorNoah is a comedian. Comedians make offensive jokes. What, you expect them to make knock knock jokes? Get over yourselves #DailyShow
