In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel

“You're from South Carolina. What do

“I used to miss Chick-Fil-A. But

'Cause look, I'm very pro-gay marriage. But I'm also very
pro-delicious chicken sandwich,” said Ansari, also a stand-up
comic.
“So what do you do?”
“I mean, at this point, why is anyone
against gay marriage?” Ansari rhetorically asked. “You know
you're going to lose. You know you're on the wrong side of things.
These are the same people that didn't want women to vote, that didn't

opposed to, interracial relationships? Look, if you're opposed to
interracial relationships, guess what: I'm fucking white girls,
there's nothing you can do about it!” (The video is embedded on
