According to the latest reports, Kumail Nanjiani, the Stand-up comedian and actor has recently dug into the much-debated comment from the President. Of late, the American President had made an announcement where he claimed that he was not a racist. The Big Sick boy and Pakistani American actor dug into the much-debated comment and tweeted, “You know how you can tell you’re racist? You have to say ‘I’m not racist!’ a lot,” on his Tweeter account.
Soon after making the comment, Trump had been widely criticized across the world for his description of African countries. A story from the Washington Post has quoted the President as saying, “Nah, I’m not a racist. I’m the least racist person you have ever interviewed, that I can tell you” Earlier, Nanjiani had hosted Saturday Night Live, where he had delivered a strong speech regarding Islamophobia and racism that he had to face over the years. The Big Sick has remained a big hit in 2017 and it was based on a true story of his real-life wife.
He also told that some of the viewers disliked the race mixing in that movie, some viewers also suggested him to go back to India and he tried to imitate them as well. However, this needs to be specified that strong words won’t change the harsh reality of Islamophobia. Islamophobia does exist and it has adequate reasons for its existence. Islamic separatists are trying to spread terror all over the globe and conquer others’ religion with their stupid ideology. The actor has not even dared to utter about the harsh reality of religious terror led by his own motherland and tactfully ignored the issue.
