Trevor Noah has the experience of a growing up as a black person in South Africa.

Trevor Noah was able to articulate how aspects of that experience can run parallel to the discrimination experienced by black people in the United States.

Trevor Noah has the experience and comprehension of the relevant issues to distinguish between "black americans" and "african americans".

To my knowledge Dave Chapelle is not a transgender person. Nor, to my knowledge, does he have the relevant experience or expertise to provide thoughtful or nuanced comedy regarding transgender people.

Tony might have been making a logical leap to get from the post you made about Trevor to connect it to Dave.

And if all you said was "who is talking about Dave? I just saw this thing Trevor said and it made sense to me" fine.

But then your response to his assumption was to dive headlong into the Dave talk anyways, so now I'm less inclined to say "hey Tony, he wasn't even talking about Dave, he just happen to like this thing Trevor said".

Shrug.
