Aziz Ansari: Why Trump Makes Me Scared for My Family

If AR-15s and similar weapons were much more difficult to obtain the shooter at the club would have needed to use different weapons that would have decreased casualties significantly.

 

yeah your family is in real danger Aziz...

 

I don't think you understand how threatening Trump's rhetoric is to minorities. It certainly makes me feel less safe. When a major political candidate is running on a platform that encourages people to be mistrusting of minorities by labeling them criminals, rapists or terrorists, and doesn't disavow support from David Duke - yeah, it's scary.

I don't think it's a good idea to encourage people with xenophobic views like Trump is doing.

Lol at the irony of hotballa's post. Just the most irony I've seen in a few short sentences I a good long while.

 

This is actually a good representation of what many people (including a good amount on this forum) think in private but don't say in public.

 

Oh wow talk about going off, seems like there are some other issues going on here. You don't eat meat do you?

 

"We're oppressed, feel sorry for us, the white man is going to come and get us". Do you really believe Trump has anything to do with public's opinion on Islam? When are we going to blame radical Muslims for creating the uneasy tension. I know blaming the white man is so much easier in the year 2016 than finding the actual root of the problem.

 

Did someone come into your laundromat and try to order food again?

 

The two aren't mutually exclusive. You're acting like Aziz or any other person had any role in it. I don't even think Aziz is a practicing muslim. Its like blaming you for the millions that Mao killed.

 

1.6 million male Muslims in the United States.

And there around 100 million or more white males in the U.S.

I can't stand Donald Trump in any single way, besides the fact that he makes Republicans look like idiots. But come on Aziz, that's a hollow argument. Muslims are extremely violent you can't completely ignore that fact.

 

How many muslim males in the U.S have been violent?

I don't know the numbers, but I'd say the crime rate is much lower.

 

That is interesting. I was just thinking about an abortion clinic that used low power handguns to shoot pregnant women in the belly as a way to terminate their pregnancy.

Would conservatives be ok with taking away these people's guns?

Would liberals be ok with shutting down this abortion clinic?

Who knows how it would play out.

 

I suppose this is as good a place as any for me to come out of the closet as a fan of Aziz Ansari.

Not his standup, but on his shows. Parks and Rec and then his show on Netflix, Master of None. It was pretty good.

I always just assumed he was Hindu so hmm.

 

Did that guy just openly say sand n-i-g-g-e-r about an American citizen of Arab origin?

 

At least this dude is trying. He knows India is generally Hindi as a opposed to whatever else. You can't say that much about other posters.

 

Not too far from where that happened.

^^^^ Making a note that I know the difference between Sikhs and Muslims and know the general history behind both.

 

Now if only you had the backbone, or basic sense of reality, to write than on his website or to the editors of whatever publication he wrote that in.

 

Aziz is Indian and South Asian. Not Middle Eastern, much less Arab.
