Kal Penn Raises Over $360,000 For Refugees After Receiving Racist Tweet

Kal Penn has raised an incredible amount of money for refugees in response to Donald Trump‘s controversial Muslim ban…and it all stemmed from a racist tweet!

The 39-year-old Designated Survivor actor received a comment from a social media user who told him he didn’t belong in the US.

In response, Kal decided to start a fundraising page for Syrian refugees, all in the name of the man who wrote the comment!

So far, the campaign has raised over $360,000, which will go to the International Rescue Committee.

“I’m speechless…How’s that for showing the world who we are?” Kal wrote on his Twitter.
