As host of the first Saturday Night Live episode following Donald Trump's inauguration, Aziz Ansari urged the president to speak out against a small pocket of his supporters the comedian calls lowercase KKK.
These people, he said, have gotten way too fired up about the Trump thing for the wrong reasons. I'm talking about these people that, as soon as Trump won, they're like, 'We don't have to pretend like we're not racist anymore! We don't have to pretend anymore! We can be racist again! Whoo!'
If you're one of these people, please go back to pretending, he added. You've got to go back to pretending. I'm so sorry we never thanked you for your service. We never realized how much effort you were putting into the pretending. But you gotta go back to pretending.
Ansari defined it as a casual white supremacy, the people that are running around saying stuff like, 'Trump won! Go back to Africa!' 'Trump won! Go back to Mexico!' He continued, Is that the plan, by the way? We're all going to move? All the minorities? Forty-some percent of the country? Every minority's going to move? Beyoncé's going to move? Beyoncé ain't moving.
He went on to acknowledge that not all Trump voters share this same opinion.
