Aasif Mandvi

I figure if people don't want to make the distinction between a Muslim and a terrorist, then why should I make a distinction between good scared white people and racists?

If you don't acknowledge differences, it's as bad as stereotyping or reducing someone.

Being American and being an outsider at the same time, it's a perspective I often bring to a character.

I think the best content on BuzzFeed is something you share with someone else in your life, and it connects you to them. And that's a big part of what e-mail's about as well.

As far as diversity's concerned, there's me, there's Al Madrigal, there's Aasif Mandvi. But I'm not walking around feeling black all the time. That would stress me out.

You put deadlines on people you really don't want, because that's how you feel about them.
