The Office's Leslie David Baker: I've been the target of racist online abuse

HuffPost

Baker says since launching a Kickstarter last month to revive his Stanley Hudson character for a web series, he's been the target of racist comments. “For those of you who don’t believe racism is still alive in the world... here’s the proof,” Baker wrote on Instagram, sharing racist and deeply unsettling messages directed at him and his spinoff efforts. “Our goal has simply been to entertain and give the fans a quality series. These rants are evidence that there is still a great deal of work that needs to be done here in America regarding racism.” Baker added: “Bigotry and hate will not be allowed to (eradicate) art or Black people. Enough said.”
