Born a Crime is an autobiography written by comedian Trevor Noah about his experiences growing up in post-apartheid South Africa. Noah was born to a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother in the 1980s even though mixed-race marriage was illegal under apartheid rules. When talking about the negative effects of these laws, Noah states that “In any society built on institutionalized racism, race mixing doesn't merely challenge the system as unjust, it reveals the system as unsustainable and incoherent.
