Daniel Kaluuya Jokes About Royal Scandal in SNL Monologue Explaining Difference Between American and British Racism

Daniel Kaluuya hosted Saturday Night Live for the first time last night, and he used his opening monologue to explain the difference between British and American racism.

Kaluuya began by telling the audience, “First of all, I know you’re hearing my accent and thinking, ‘Oh no. He’s not Black, he’s British.’” He reassured the audience that he’s both of those things, and then went for the jugular by referencing the royal family racism scandal.

Basically I’m what the royal family was worried the baby would look like.

Kaluuya went on from there by answering the question of which is worse: British racism or American racism.

“Let me put it this way,” he said. “British racism is so bad, white people left. They wanted to be free. Free to create their own kind of racism. So that’s why they invented Australia, South Africa and Boston.”

The star of Judas and the Black Messiah star even joked about accepting a Golden Globe for his role, with a reference to another critically-acclaimed film he starred in.

“I was muted! Can you believe that?” He said. “I told the best joke of my life and I was muted. I felt like I was in the sunken place.”
