Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Born a Crime is the first book and autobiography of Trevor Noah, a South African comedian and host of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah. As the title implies, he deals with his childhood and youth during and after The Apartheid Era growing up in South Africa as the child of a black Xhosa mother and white Swiss-German father - a relationship that was illegal under South African law at the time of his birth. | |

A Boy and His X | |
| Born a Crime / int_1d435a4d | comment |
A Boy and His X: Subverted and played with in the chapter about Fufi. When Trevor and his mother got two dogs, he was immediately attracted to Fufi, the seemingly stupid dog who they found out to be deaf after she was put down. Rather than display the typical doggie loyalty to Trevor, Fufi constantly ran off and was eventually taken in by another family who claimed her as their dog and refused to give her back to the Noahs until Patricia just bought the dog back. Trevor was completely devastated when that happened and describes Fufi as his first heartbreak. As Trevor put it at the end of the chapter, Fufi did not intentionally hurt him, she was just living her life. | |

Action Mom: When he was young boy, Trevor went with his mother and baby brother to three churches on Sunday (his mother was very religious). One Sunday her car wouldn't start, so she used minibuses to get around. It was an informal sort of public transportation for the Black areas, and was rather corrupt and dangerous, but better than nothing. At one point they were picked up by a minibus driven by a Zulu man (Noah and his mother are from the rival Xhosa tribe), who started threatening them. When the van slowed down at a light, Patricia threw Noah (who was asleep) out of the van, then jumped out herself, cradling her baby, and they ran for it. | |
