'The Office's' Leslie David Baker says he received racist abuse after announcing spinoff

Baker launched a Kickstarter campaign in July to raise funds for a pilot episode of"Uncle Stan," an"Office" spinoff in which he'd reprise his iconic role. According to the description listed on the Kickstarter campaign, the series would begin with Stanley enjoying his retirement in Florida. In the pilot, the character would receive a desperate call from his nephew, Lucky, imploring him to help with raising his children and running his motorcycle shop in Los Angeles.

The Kickstarter campaign had surpassed its $300,000 goal by more than $40,000, money that will be used to fund casting, writer development and other aspects of production, per the fundraiser's description. The funds will also be used to"demonstrate fan base support," a requirement to gain eventual network backing.

FLORIDA STANLEY COMING BACK!!!!!

Who cares? Really

I love Stanley! I also love to see him in the Cherrios Commercial. How sad that he should have to be a target of racist abuse. No person should have to face that kind of hate. LeslieDavidBaker TheOffice

Racist trump supporters. They’ll all die out after November. Don’t worry uncle Stan.

You tweet this 10 times a day, but no mention of the boy who has shot in the head by a black supremacist?

Everyone loves Stanley, so this shouldn’t be a story because the internet will always have trolls.

What?! A spin-off based on Stanley?!?! That would be hilarious! I’d watch! TheOffice lesliedavidbaker

Why? What's the purpose?

You put a disqualifying before the lead. 'He says' should not have been included in this headline, it gives racist views free quarter.

An insufferable bunch of losers.

I love Stanley

The Office is one of the least funny and least entertaining examples of television produced so far this century. Can't inagine why anyone would want to spin that crap off to begin with. Good actors and characters, terrible writing.

We love you!!!

Unfortunately there's a lot of trumPets / MAGArats that would do that kind of racist things.

There are so many pathetic people in America. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sad that people are doing this. Wishing him much success on the spinoff. I’ll watch.

🙄

I could’ve told you that

Glad he’s sharing! That stuff is wrong! Can’t wait to see his show. 😁♥️👌🏼

Where’s the evidence?

I'm not surprised at all

NBC...Your HQ for racist propaganda.

...but what about CannonHinnant ?

Cmon...this is just some disingenous crap to drum up free press and hype for the show.

shocking that anonymous people on the internet said nasty stuff. shocking.

Who said racist assholes don't exist? The point is that they are not the norm. They are outliers. Systemic racism is a myth. Maybe look up 'anecdotal evidence.'

Nobody learned anything from diversity day...and it's actually not funny.

Who said racism doesn't exist in the world. CNN, MSNBC or NBC? Stop boring people with garbage news.

Only racists claim racism doesn't exist.

It started with the assumption that there isn’t any racism. That was stupid. It does exist and always has. And not just an American problem. So Enjoy your spin off guy and make some money.

Meanwhile racism against Asians: *Crickets*
