Article: Kal Responds to Joel Stein

Faith — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 00:46:01 +0000

Great article published by Kal on Huffington Post in response to Time writer Joel Stein’s hideously racist douche baggery in an article he wrote, “My Own Private India“:

I want to applaud Joel Stein for his hilarious account of Edison, New Jersey in his Time magazine article this week, “My Own Private India”; it is as unique and groundbreaking as Thomas Alva himself.

Were it not for the intelligent, fresh sense of humor of individuals like Mr. Stein, the world may never know about Americans who happen to be of Indian descent. Gags about impossibly spicy food? I’d never heard those before! Multiple Gods with multiple arms? Multiple laughs! Recounting racial slurs like “dot-head”? Oh, Mr. Stein, is too good! I don’t know how he comes up with such unique bits. (I was worried that he’d missed an opportunity to joke about Dr. King’s predecessor, Gandhi, but I see that he got to that hilarity on Twitter. More never-before-heard satire!

Read More @ Huffington Post and PLEASE let Time know that this is unacceptable by making your voice heard – call or write the magazine, or if you’re feeling brave tweet @TheJoelStein and let him know what you think of the awful things he said. This happened in America and in the year 2010, and it’s absolutely disgraceful.

As some of you already know, Kal is slated to return as Kumar in the third installment of the popular franchise – this time a Christmas film – and production has reportedly already begun with the likes of John Cho, Neil Patrick Harris and the ever hilarious Patton Oswalt. Here’s what CNN had to say:

“In order to fulfill a commitment he made prior to the start of his employ here, Mr. Modi resigned his post on June 1,” White House spokesman Shin Inouye told CNN. “We deeply appreciate his service and wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

News: Kal Weighs In on Prop 8

Faith — Fri, 29 May 2009 13:22:21 +0000

This isn’t exactly Kal news (though he did weigh in on the issue), but it’s something that’s just driving me insane. This Prop 8, may as well be “Plessy v. Ferguson”-style BS that makes not one ounce of sense at all. I’m not just speaking as someone who does not identify as straight, I’m actually appalled that in California of all places they could pass legislation like this. Here’s what Kal had to say:

‘Harold and Kumar’ star Kal Penn, who left Hollywood this year to work at the White House, posed a question for gay marriage opponents: “So if the CA Supreme Court & voters are so concerned with the “sanctity of marriage”, how about we make divorce illegal too? Any takers?”
