This is unacceptable!!
Kumail Nanjiani, a star of Silicon Valley, Portlandia, and a host of other shows and series, was out at a bar in El Lay on Friday night with co-star Thomas Middleditch when two men harassed and nearly physically attacked them!
Scariest yet, it was all about Donald Trump!!!

Nanjiani has been vocally anti-Trump for a long time, and the men — who the Pakistani-American actor describes as “two white dudes” — knew it when they walked up to him in the bar and confronted him about the election!
Here’s Nanjiani telling the entire story (below)!!!
Was at a bar last night with @Middleditch. At the end of the night, 2 white dudes, 20’s, who’d been there for hours came up to us.

“We’re big fans of you guys. (To Thomas) I trolled you on twitter yesterday.” He goes on to say how we’re wrong about Trump.

I go “Hey we don’t wanna discuss politics right now.” His friends goes “oh they’re cucks.” Then starts yelling at us. “CUCKS CUCKS CUCKS!”

He starts getting in my face. Thomas puts his hand on the dude’s chest to stop him. “Don’t touch me you cuck. Wanna go outside?”

At this point, the bouncer runs over, grabs them, kicks them out. The bartender is awesome & apologetic. Thomas & I are stunned.

This happened at a bar in LA surrounded by ppl. I can’t imagine what it must be like to be someone who looks like me in other parts.

We can’t let hate/racism/bigotry/sexism be normalized. If something happens, be safe, but let it be known we won’t stand for this.

Many ppl are like “just cuz I voted for Trump doesn’t mean I’m racist/sexist.” Ok, but at best, you ignored it, you overlooked it.

We thought Internet would give us access to ppl w different points of view. Instead it gives us access to many ppl w the same point of view.

That is truly horrifying — and not to mention, completely shameful.

And this was at a bar in Los Angeles.
Can U imagine what it must be like elsewhere in America for people of color?? Ugh!!!
