'I've heard 'Go back to your country' many many times. Most recently was about a month and a half ago in L.A. It hurts my feelings every time,' wrote Nanjiani, who was born in Pakistan.

President Trump tweeted out a message toSunday, crudely urging them to"go back" to their home countries and fix problems there before opining on how the United States should be run. Celebrities Kumail Nanjiani, Padma Lakshmi and George Takei were among those who took it personally.

"I've heard 'Go back to your country' many many times. Most recently was about a month and a half ago in LA.

."It's rooted in centuries of ignorance, violence and white supremacy. This man does not represent us. And in 2020 we will vote him ... out." "Star Trek" alumnus George Takei, whose father emigrated from Japan, put his feelings in a broader context. "Trump wants minority Congresswomen to 'go back' to their home countries. He wants our country to 'go back' to a time where racism and sexism were encouraged. No, Mr. Trump, sorry. We won't go back. We will go forward. And we will leave you and your ilk far, far behind," Takei

He is one of the world’s up and coming genuinely great persons. So embarrassed when our country misunderstands the modern melting pot.

Stay where you want to be Nanjiani.

What Potus is implying and more dangerous is that if you have an opinion and criticizes the fail of our government and policies you aren't American.

Nobody ever says it to me. Even though I was born in a foreign country. Because I’m white, and I arrived as a child, so I don’t have an accent. Racism is real.

Stand your ground and fight for America against people like Trump and McConnell

Really. Did you marry your brother to defraud the US?

Is it in the context of Revolutionzing America?

He wasn’t talking to you...

I challenge all of you lazy headline only reading people to look at the 3 tweets. Judge for yourself don’t rely on bias media looking for political a takedown. In fact do yourself a favor review the past 3 years of headlines 99% false fake news. Media is trying to divide us.

If your here legally welcome! If you support America welcome. If your illegal or hate America yes back back where you came from.

he should be proud where he comes from and proud that home isn’t America

Celebs? LOL

Victimhood is pathetic!

Just say “nope. It’s more fun to stay here and bother/scare the shit out of you”

Poor victim. However do you go on with life.?🙄 This weak kneed generation needs to grow a pair.

I wonder why no one trusts the MSM? EndTheBias

You are the best that was in those countries. And now you are here and working for the United States, multiplying its greatness. But Trump isn’t able to understand this. Even on the fingers.

I heard this too from someone in Florida and I’m a white woman born in America ! THEY are so narrow minded with blinders, All because I was speaking a foreign language.

Stay here and stop playing the race card then !

I've heard it plenty of times myself.does'nt hurt me in the least. I tell them take yo punk ass back to beljum or denmark and take a bunch of sunscreen witcha....

ur a comedian and u make jokes about ur own ethnicity. rather hypocritical for u to be so sensitive what one man says when u make a living making humor of ur own family and ethnic group. grow a pair and man up.

boo hoo!

He needs to take his message of tolerance and humanity and communicate it to leaders of Pakistan 🇵🇰 Why is he complaining about America?

If you hate America you SHOULD go back to your country.

they said that bs to my son too but he was born in us so idiots all around us

iStanAristotle

suzmarques Aawww

... and America still is a preferred choice of immigrants, there's a consensus on this subject.

Every one is fucking playing the victim.

California is in deep debt and no one wants to fix it. Just Tax and Tax and waste and waste some more. That’s the thinking just like no one care what Celebrities think in Hollywood.

IF YOU CANT LIVE BY OUR LAWS , GO BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL BIRTH COUNTRY AND FIX THEM FIRST !

I heard it and I am white. So stop pretending only brown or black people here it!!!

kumailn Thank you for using your voice to put the moron in charge in his place

My neighbors tell me that every night when I swing by for a beer on their porch. “Don’t you have somewhere else to be ... go back where you came from” ... so then I take my beer and go home. 😂maga factsnotfiction.

I think it's so funny when I hear this shit bc I lived in a very rich city that was prob 99% white and no one EVER told me to go back to where I came from. Like where are you hanging out... what are you doing...

We should send Trump’s immigrant wife back to Eastern Europe.

I've been told that, and I'm born and raised here. It's really something too when you hear it... Smh.

Hollywood and Democrats love to be victims

Raybon Kan, a Chinese NZ comedian was walking down a street in Wellington and someone shouted 'Go back to where you came from!' He replied 'What? To Auckland?'

Trump should 'aim higher': Lindsey Graham and other Republicans respond to Trump's 'go back' tweetsRomney does not condemn Trump telling congresswomen to 'go back' to their countries: “I certainly feel a number of these new members of Congress have views that are not consistent with my experience and not consistent with building a strong America' Another out of touch old white man with no cajoles. don't force normal people to accept ultra-radical political anarchy. Abusing civil liberties to promote gutter socialism should be outed, loathed & ostracized. Dems must stand up & tell off these socialist radicals. It's not Trump. It's political outcasts Romney is a coward
