Because I’m Moroccan, people always ask me if I can explain to them the difference between Moroccan couscous and Israeli couscous. The difference is simple: Moroccan couscous has a grainy, semolina-like texture whereas Israeli couscous is a human rights violation.

Yes, comedians are allowed creative liberties. But Hasan Minhaj brands himself more than just a comedian. He branded himself as a truth teller with journalistic integrity. So telling lies that exploit the traumas of our communities and masquerading it as truth is gross.

In his comedy, Hasan Minhaj tells harrowing stories about experiences he’s faced as an Asian American and Muslim American. This week, Minhaj acknowledged, for the first time, that many of the anecdotes he related in his Netflix specials were untrue.
