Nanjiani takes dig at Trump's 'I'm not racist' comment

Stand-up comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani, whose roots trace back to Pakistan, has taken a dig at US President Donald Trump's "I'm not a racist" comment.

"You know how you can tell you're racist? You have to say 'I'm not racist!' a lot," Nanjiani of "The Big Sick" fame tweeted.

Trump denied he was a racist after he was criticized over his "sh**hole" description of African countries.

"Nah, I'm not a racist. I'm the least racist person you have ever interviewed, that I can tell you," a report in the Washington Post quoted Trump as saying.
