Aziz Ansari: 'Prejudice Is Reaching New Levels' Because of Donald Trump
FUSE TV - Aziz Ansari: 'Prejudice Is Reaching New Levels' Because of Donald Trump
For this Sunday's edition of the New York Times, Aziz Ansari took to the pages of its opinion section to pen an essay about how afraid he is for his family in a world where the flames of hateful rhetoric and prejudice are being fanned by people like Donald Trump.
Ansari's parents are Muslim, and he opens his piece with a conversation he recently had with his mother via text where he discourages her from going to the mosque following the horrific attack that killed 50 people at Orlando nightclub Pulse. "I am the son of Muslim immigrants," he writes. "As I sent that text, in the aftermath of the horrible attack in Orlando, Fla., I realized how awful it was to tell an American citizen to be careful about how she worshiped."
He continues to pull from his own experiences and interactions with loved ones and dear friends, stressing that the number of terrorists who identify as Muslim is dwarfed by the millions of peaceful Muslim Americans: "The overwhelming number of Muslim Americans have as much in common with that monster in Orlando as any white person has with any of the white terrorists who shoot up movie theaters or schools or abortion clinics."
