But Noah has now defended his segment, saying he was reacting to racists, and: "That's why I said. 'Some people'." "And I always find myself going 'So what? What are you afraid of? I think it's because the quiet part that a lot of people don't realise what they're saying is, 'We don't want these people who were previously oppressed to get into power because then they may do to us what we did to them.'"
