Today, in piping-hot celebrity takes:
Harambe became a big meme thing because it's a "funny African name" that people can make fun of without feeling racist. Come at me.
— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) August 23, 2016
FYI, he’s talking about stuff like this:

Really makes you think.
Except Harambe can't think anymore, can he? Because he's dead. https://t.co/AmC4MjBSUv

I'm glad I'm dead. https://t.co/Am1D5V9uMY

It’s totally racist, right?
@kumailn Right…totally what it is about.

Nanjiani elaborated for our reading pleasure:
Re: my previous tweet: Dicks out for a HOT TAKE!!!
— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) August 23, 2016
I have the rare hot take that pisses off both liberals and conservatives. This is how I know I'm right. People so mad to look in the mirror!
— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) August 23, 2016
Or maybe people just think you’re being ridiculous.
The angrier you get, the more convinced I am about my theory. So go ahead. Prove me right.
— Kumail Nanjiani (@kumailn) August 23, 2016
And yes I am trying to end the Harambe meme. Enough is enough. Let's move on. It's time.

@kumailn *Comes at you* yeah, you're probably right. *nods in agreement. turns around and walks away*

@kumailn comically arrogant.
— RANDAL YANDAL (@yandal_randal) August 23, 2016
@kumailn Seems like a strange hill to die on.
— Ben McCall (@Aiteeyo) August 23, 2016
@kumailn Bro you're a comedian yet you think telling people not to do something will make them do it less? You should know better. Wet fart.
— Scotty2Thotty (@WokeCrumbum) August 23, 2016
I see Kumar's new shtick is bashing hypothetical racism that he invents in his head. https://t.co/76NsbLUxqz

Nahhh. I'll just point and laugh at you. https://t.co/P8ljvlMen2— LaurieAnn (@mooshakins) August 24, 2016
LOL.
This is pseudointellectual nonsense at its best. https://t.co/cGAeS105nJ

You're a very gifted comedic actor. You are not necessarily the most gifted analyst of internet memes. https://t.co/XUjq8y8frI

Bummer.
