In a speech to the House of Parliament in London earlier this year, the British-Pakistani actor gave his case for representation of ethnic minorities in media. “If we fail to represent, we are in danger of losing people to extremism,” he said. “People are looking for the message that they belong, that they are part of something, that they are seen and heard and that despite, or perhaps because of, their experience, they are valued. They want to feel represented. In that task, we have failed.”
