Earlier today, former cabinet minister Sajid Javid - who endorsed Mr Sunak in the latest Conservative leadership campaign - called Noah's comments"simply wrong".
"A narrative catered to his audience, at a cost of being completely detached from reality," the former chancellor and health secretary posted on social media, responding to the video clip."Britain is the most successful multiracial democracy on earth and proud of this historic achievement." Mr Sunak became the UK's first Hindu PM, the first of Asian heritage and, at 42, the youngest for more than 200 years when he was appointed prime minister on Tuesday.When asked about the comments later on Thursday, Mr Sunak's official spokesperson said the new PM doesn't believe the UK is a racist country.
Noah's video has had more than 850,000 views, and underneath it, many social media users have questioned his comments with some accusing him of"projecting" American views on race on to Britain. Last month, South African TV presenter Noah announced he will be stepping down as host of The Daily Show after seven years at the helm.
