‘Silicon Valley’-stjerner chikaneret af unge Trump-støtter på en bar
I weekendens løb har Kumail Nanjiani og Thomas Middleditch fra komedieserien ‘Silicon Valley’ oplevet, hvordan USA tegner sig for Clinton-støtter efter Donald Trump er blevet valgt som præsident.
De havde et ubehageligt møde med to yngre Trump-støtter på en bar i Los Angeles i fredags. Lørdag berettede de begge om optrinnet på Twitter.
Kort fortalt blev de efter et kort møde begge overfuset med den nedsættende term ‘cucks’ (en demaskulineret, nærmest masochistisk person), inden de to yngre mennesker blev smidt ud af baren.
Du kan se de to HBO-stjerners udlægning af hele handlingsforløbet herunder.
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.

Thomas Middleditch fatter sig lidt mere i korthed:
Out with @kumailn; for no reason two dudes came at us with Trump right wing shit, calling us "cucks". Never in my life. I hate this. Week 1.

.@Shersbet @kumailn damn you. It's real. Wake up. Bouncer removed these people. Shame on you. What is happening?!
— Thomas Middleditch (@Middleditch) 12. november 2016
Btw, "cuck" is an Alt Right term. Look it up, it's not positive.

.@Tallarico @Thesixler @kumailn This was in Silver Lake. Gentrification central. Unbelievable.
— Thomas Middleditch (@Middleditch) 12. november 2016
.@kumailn Yes! Either you agreed with the sketchy rhetoric or you turned a blind eye to it. Bad news either way.
