Here's what Trevor Noah really said in his 'Black Panther' joke at the Oscars:
BOILER-PIPE: his comedy bits . "He knows that speaking in a language full of clicks and sounds that Westerners generally won't ever hear will evoke a sort of fascination. Some feel like he exploits this," writes Zanie Ferreira, 28, a corporate intelligence analyst from Cape Town, via Twitter direct message. She is a white South African and does not speak Xhosa. But she thinks the Oscars joke worked:"He knew only a small portion of people will get it.
" Ferreira likes that Noah represented her country at the largely Western event. "Diversity in nationalities [at the Oscars] is long overdue. Add in a foreign language, spoken ... in the global south, and that's pretty special," she says. Noah's phrase even sparked a trending hashtag on social media in South Africa, # KodwaAbayaziNdiyaXoka . It means"but they don't know that I'm lying," says college student Sasa. She is a participant in the meme.
