This Pakistani-American Actor Was Harassed By Donald Trump Supporters And It's Scary

By Sarmad Amer | 13 Nov, 2016

Pakistani American actor Kumail Nanjiani was recently harassed by who he says were Donald Trump supporters, in California in the US. He was born in Karachi and then moved to the US when he turned 18. He is a popular stand-up comedian and actor and has been part of some much lauded projects, including The Colbert Report, Broad City and The X-Files.

 

Kumail, who stars in the hit comedy series ‘Silicon Valley’ was out with a fellow actor from the show when he suffered the ordeal

Cuck is the term used by some conservatives to refer to people, men specifically, who they believe to be “weak”.

 

Kumail then narrated that the men who approached him started yelling in his face, making things tense and almost reaching a physical altercation

Before things could become really violent for Kumail, bouncers at the bar came in and threw his harassers out

Kumail came out of this relatively unharmed but he was scared for Muslims and immigrants who live in more tougher locations in the US

 

Following this incident, there were messages of support for Kumail from so many people

 

But there were those who didn’t believe that Kumail was telling the truth

 

And this what Kumail’s response is for haters like that

 

After the election of Donald Trump, who has claimed he will ban all Muslims from entering the US and has given statements against immigrants and Mexicans, as President of the United States of America, there have been an increase in reports of people of color, Muslims and immigrants being harassed. Supporters of Hillary Clinton have also been carrying out demonstrations against the election of Donald Trump across many cities in the US, some even turning a little violent.
