Amid George Floyd Murder Protest, Comedian Hasan Minaj Lashes Out At Asians & Their Obsession With Fair Skin

Ever since the brutal murder of African American George Floyd has hit the news, celebrities across the globe have been campaigning for change. Several celebrities have raised their voice against the act of racial discrimination. Now, the comedian Hasan Minaj has also lashed out at Asians over their obsession with fair skin.

Opening up about the Asian obsession with fair skin and Bollywood hypocrisy around the matter, Hasan Minaj has dissected the subject in his latest video. His new Patriot Act episode is titled ‘We Cannot Stay Silent About George Floyd’ and Minaj vents it all out in this 12-minute long episode.

The American comedian has been quoted saying, “Depending on when you immigrated, you came to this country (US) for order and stability. We don’t want it to be as f****d up as back home. But imagine if you lived in a country where the colour of your skin got you killed you would say that is a lawless country. Asians, we love seeing black excellence, Barack (Obama), Michelle (Obama), Jay Z, Beyonce…how could we be afraid, we love black America. Yeah, on screen, in our living rooms. But when a black man walks into your living room and god forbid wants to date or marry your daughter, you call the cops.”

But what pinches you in the right ways is Hasan Minaj pointing out to the slangs and hypocrisies of not just Asians but also several B-town actors. “You know what we call black people? We call them ‘kaala’, which means black but not in a good way. If someone is dark-skinned in your family, we clown them. We call them ‘kallu’. Our Bollywood film stars do skin whitening commercials so we don’t look black. It is bad to be black in desi culture even though we all wish we were black.”

Well, for those of you living under the rock, the African American George Floyd was brutally murdered by a white police officer who knelt on Floyd for 9 long minutes. The video of the killing has been doing rounds where Floyd can be repeatedly heard pleading that he can’t breathe.

Okay. Now I can sleep well. 😆

This guy had his 15 minutes

So true about desi parents' reaction on bringing home a black guy 😆

Everything he said is true.

He is an idiot....misguided anger....trying to connect desi's love for fair skin with the blatant racism going on in America....both are as different as chalk and cheese.....like those people who will shout All lives matter to counter BLM...

Whatever he said is true but why mix Asian racism with BLM and try to undermine the latter? 😡

BLM is important and racism against blacks is more rampant in US!

"It is bad to be black in desi culture even though we all wish we were black.”

Huh what?! We who? I don't wish to be black or white or yellow, I am very happy being brown! 😆

he is not wrong...

South Asians who themselves are immigrants in other countries are one of the most bigoted/racist groups as we can see in this forum and other social media.. they need to fully be an ally here being minorities themselves and who are victims of racism themselves

although a few of good South Asians have emerged from the protests in US..like that Indian-American businessman who gave shelter to the protesters in his own home..

There's a lot of young desis here in the US and Canada who listen to rap music, say the n-word, want to talk about their struggle in a similar way to rappers, etc. who give off the impression they would like to be black. i've met people like this... BUT that is just some people and there's white, asian, hispanic people who do the same so I don't know why Hasan has to say "we all wish." there's plenty of us desis who see the difficulties experienced by black people and don't wish that upon ourselves and who are also very happy to be indian :/

other than that, i think it's good he's addressing this. i'm not a big fan of his, but lots of young desis here like him and maybe this will encourage them to fight anti-black racism and colorism.
