Would 'Black-ish' star Yara Shahidi meet with President Trump?

Larry King:You’re politically active, right?

Yara Shahidi: I am.

Larry King: You are not a fan of our president?

Yara Shahidi: No.

Larry King: Really? [Chuckles]

Yara Shahidi: I mean, part of that is just as a young black girl with the last name Shahidi who has relatives in Iran.

Larry King: I’ve known him 35 years, would you like to meet him?

Yara Shahidi: No.

Larry King: [Chuckles]

Yara Shahidi: I decline.

Larry King: Are you shocked or disappointed?

Yara Shahidi: A little bit of both.

Larry King: So far.

Yara Shahidi: I mean, as somebody who wants to study sociology, I try to process this as rationally as I can. I think my issue with the election cycle was that a lot of what was said, or the rhetoric that was said, went against a lot of people’s identities, and I feel as though having worked so hard in the past 8 years to establish a place in which most people are finally gaining a sense of equality, a lot of that has disappeared. And even with the travel ban, that affects my family, so-

Larry King: Your father’s from Iran, right?

Yara Shahidi: Mhm. And so it’s hard not to take this a little personally.

Larry King: You bet.
