Aziz Ansari proved during Saturday's episode of Saturday Night Live he was more than able to tackle the show's first monologue since the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 45th President of the United States.

As the first person of South Asian descent to host the show, he pointed out that of the 63 million people who voted for Trump, not all of them were racists or bigots. But he lamented the rise of what he hilariously referred to as the “lowercase k.k.k.,” the "casual" racist groups who have found a home in the Presidents #MAGA party—and in the White House.

Ansari, whose Netflix comedy Master of None will return for season 2 later this year, also said minorities who were intensely vilified during the election are not going anywhere.

"My parents moved from India to South Carolina in the early '80s," he said. "They didn't move until nine years ago. You know where they moved? To North Carolina! They love it here. They're not leaving," he announced, to applause.

The comedian then made a poignant plea for the current occupant of the White House to give a "real speech"—not just some angry tweets—truly denouncing these perverse groups. "I think it could make a difference," Ansari said, nodding to President George W. Bush's speech from September 2001, just days after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

In that speech, President Bush reminded the American people that "Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war," he said, pointing to the billion-plus people worldwide who "find comfort and solace and peace" in the Islam faith, referring to them as "brothers and sisters."
